Okan Posted April 30, 2022 Report Posted April 30, 2022 I was wondering if anyone saw anything like this before..I'm sure there must be a reason for this ugliness but I couldn't come up with anything... 1 Quote

DoTanuki yokai Posted May 1, 2022 Report Posted May 1, 2022 I don’t know the purpose but I’m a fan of Negoro-nuri and like this, would say this is a cupholder. Quote

Bugyotsuji Posted May 1, 2022 Report Posted May 1, 2022 Silk seals usually have a hole through them for checking the proper thickness of sample skeins of silk.

A size standard? 2 Quote
