Souvenirs from Tokyo #3

Some souvenir gifts from friends...
A perfect, little wooden spoon from Yuko and Naoya:

I think it was hand carved - there are tiny, tiny chisel marks on the surface.

Also, they gave us these little cubes for decorating. They are made of metal, but the painted surface makes them look like soft, worn squares of chalk.

I like to change their arrangement every once in a while. The colours are so pretty.

One of the gifts from our friend Aya was this masu:

You can drink sake out of it, or use it to measure rice. That's what we use it for. Since I make rice almost everyday, I often reach for this and am reminded of friends in faraway places.
