Does anybody know what I bought???
Once again, question from Japan!!!
Do you know what this is?
The other day, I found this on sale only for 300 yen, which is about $3, so I asked to the guy at the shop, and he said this was the only one left there. Anyway, I bought it, because I wanted it for a long time, but I have never seen it selling except at some internet shop. This should have costed me more than 1500 or 2000 yen. But this one was CHEAP!
This is an old Japanese tool, but nowadays, nobody is using it. It's a box and a plainer, but it is used only for one thing.
This is how you use it. What I am holding is "the thing". I had to buy it at different store, which is really really hard to find it and costed 2500 yen! Wow.
You hold this and just sharp it. It has something to do with one of the Japanese cultures, but as I have told you, nowadays, nobody uses it because we can buy something already processed at any shop around so easily. But as you also can guess what you have processed is much better than what you get at stores.
