Sawara Cypress Wood Onsen Hot Spring Mark Kata-Te Bath Ladle

This is a real Sawara Cypress wood bath ladle – hand-made by expert craftsmen in the picturesque town of Kiso in Nagano Prefecture.

Made completely in the traditional way, these high quality ‘Kata-Te’ or Japanese bath one-handed ladles have the Japanese ‘Onsen Mark’ burned into the wood. They are precisely fitted and bound with two real copper bands.

These solid wooden ladles are of the exact same type used at many fine hot spring ‘onsen’ resorts all over Japan. They are used both to pour hot water from the bath over yourself prior to entering the hot water.

Perfect to bring the essence of the Japanese Bath into your home – Great for Home Spas! Allow 10 days production time prior to shipping as we order them freshly made.
