Attempt to reproduce a wagatabon 我谷盆 of master woodworker 森口進一さん Shinichi Moriguchi .
Hand carved with the great explanations and tips of professor and green woodworker 久津輪 雅さん Masashi Kutsuwa.
Slowmade from a fresh chestnut log with an axe and Japanese tools (gouge, chisel, kana).
Wagata refers to the small village of Wagatani, in Ishikawa-ken, and Bon means tray. This traditional Japanese tray were often made of chestnut wood, which splits well and has a high amount of rot-resistant tannins.
ありがとうございました久津輪 雅さん
