Set of Tsutsu Cones
Regular price
$90.00
Tax included.
Set of five unused tsustu cones. The largest is 28cm long and 7cm in diameter. The smallest is approximately 7cm long and 4cm in diameter. Tsutsu are soaked in water and used like a piping bag with a metal tip (sadly not included, sorry) for applying a rice paste resist in traditional tsutsugaki ('tsutsu drawing') and yuzen dyeing. They're made from thick washi treated with persimmon tannin to prevent rotting (kakishibui) which gives them a rich, slightly glossy brown colour. I would love to think that someone might be able to use these for their original purpose but otherwise they make simple, quirky display pieces.
