This bamboo futaoki (lid rest) is cut from a nodeless piece of bamboo and thus is suitable for both furo and ro use. This nodeless bamboo style is sometimes called chikuwa (竹輪 - bamboo ring)

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.
