【About Miyajima Shakushi】
The prototype of Miyajima Shakushi, which is said to be the origin of shakushi, which is now popular throughout Japan, was invented by Shinsenji’s monk Oath in the Kansei period about 200 years ago.
In an era when food culture changed greatly from rice porridge to white rice, shakushi spread throughout the country as the latest kitchen tool representing the stetas of the time, and the ladle was also called Miyajima.
A streamlined simple design born from the fusion of the motif of the shape of the biwa of Itsukushima Benzaiten and the curves unique to hand shavings.
