Contour and blade cannot merely summarize the many designs this tool can be used to make.  One edge of it is sharp, while the other side has a serrated contour.  In addition to the koi fish designs this serrated edge classically portraits, these edges can be used to make impressive contours on wagashi materials such as nerikiri or konashi.

Material: walnut wood

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.
