This vintage bamboo futaoki (lid rest) is shaped for Ro use, and is made entirely from Japanese bamboo. Bamboo futaoki for the ro (炉) season tend to be wider than those for furo and have the node closer to the middle of the piece.

A futaoki (蓋置 - lid rest) is a small stand used to hold the lid of the kama or for resting the hishaku on. They are typically made of bamboo, ceramic, or metal, and come in a vast array of shapes and styles. While metal and ceramic futaoki can be quite ornate and are considered more formal, the common and basic bamboo types are largely undecorated and are the least formal style.

4.8cm (1.9in) - width
