Sanjo City in Niigata Prefecture is known as the town of craftsmanship. As Daiya carefully completes the plane iron, sharp-edged planes are being made.
The box is made of beech, a bright and airy material often used in Scandinavian furniture. The box made by scraping out a solid wood has no seams and has a smooth texture. It has a compact and beautiful shape, which even feels comfortable when placed on a table.
Daiya suggests a completely new way of using the sharpener: to place it on a table, sharpen as much as necessary, and sprinkle right then.
Thank you very much for the order. Everything I ordered now and previously was really wonderfully made and beautiful. I am very happy and will continue shopping :)

Thank you very kindly for your shipment to my US address. I am highly pleased with all of my purchases and will shop again with you soon.
What lovely ware to cherish and gift! It is a pleasure to handle and work with your wares. They are practical, high quality, beautifully finished and satisfying to the touch. I will continue to enjoy them for all of their long lifetime and am proud to gift them.
They keep all promises and exceed expectations: [Okai Mafu Shoten] Linen Fukin towel dries so well and leaves glassware sparkly clean. [THE] Soy Sauce Cruet will not spill a single drop, however it is handled. [Daiya] Katsubako Brush cleans my fine coffee grinds, disregarding the highly static environment at 7000ft/2000m... and so on. Thank you again!
The package arrived in under two weeks and in pristine shape. All items were wrapped with love and incredible attention to detail. The [Seiryugama] Sencha Cup came with a tiny, tiny chip, but that could not have happened in transit. All other items arrived in perfect condition. I have never yet received international shipments in such good shape here. Kudos to your team!
I look forward to shopping again.
All best to you and Shokunin enterprise. C.L. from USA
I am extremely happy with the 2 donabe and the bonito sharpener that I purchased recently. I was pleasantly surprised by how quick the products arrived in France and how well everything was wrapped. I would definitely recommend Shokunin to anyone who is interested in Japanese artisanal products.
Bravo!

Daiya
Katsubako Brush
Katsubako Brush is a brush for cleaning the bonito sharpener. As it is compact in size, it could be stored inside the sharpener. It could also be placed and stored upright. It utilizes hog bristles which have a moderate hardness and length, allowing it to clean all spaces and corners of the plane. As Daiya's Bonito Sharpener cannot be washed with water, we recommend you to use Katsubako Brush to clean the sharpener after you used it. It also prevents any outbreaks of insects.

Daiya
Yamatani Manufacturing Company, founded in Sanjo City, Niigata Prefecture, in 1946, works on the production of plane stocks, the wooden part of the plane, as their principal profession. As craftsmen who make bases of planes for carpenters are called Daiya, they named their brand ("Daiya") as it is.
