The relatively narrow width of the flat spatula is perfect for flipping and maneuvering small items on a hot plate.  Its rigidity makes it also a useful tool in mixing colours into wagashi doughs such as nerikiri or konashi.  While traditional spatulas like these come often in bronze colour, this ICHIKA design resonates the KADO philosophy where the black colour drapes the artisan as a backdrop.

Wagashi -- traditional Japanese sweets -- capture seasonality and imagery of nature in their aesthetics.  They are served before the bowl of matcha that concludes even the most elaborate kaiseki meal.  The specialty wagashi tools are from reputable makers.  They exhibit the craftsmanship that is respected also in wagashi making.
