Yes, even Japanese cooks leave just-washed dishes to air-dry. I am not sure how all of these utensils were used, but I found the display interesting as we toured the school. It almost looked like someone had set up a still life.
I love this picture. And it's fun to try to guess how the utensils are used. The sticks might be rolling pins and the woven piece looks like it might be for straining or steaming. I have no idea what the bowl with hole would be used for. If you ever discover the use of these, I'd love to know.

ReplyDeleteYou should write a book...
ReplyDeleteI wonder if those sticks are rolling pins or mixing stick/spoons? interesting :)
ReplyDeleteIn my artistic eye it does look like a still~life set up.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how the utensils are used either but they are interestingly beautiful.

hmmmm, leaving them to dry on wood is very foreign to me....
