Master Craftsmen: Works by Kiyoshi Honma and Ushizo Honma, known as legendary master craftsmen, are well-known.
Production Status: Due to being handmade by skilled artisans, it is currently very difficult to obtain new items. There is also information that due to a lack of successors, the remaining stock is very limited and precious.
Product Appeal: It has high sealing properties and antibacterial effects, and its charm lies in the aging process where it gains luster with use.
