• 1-15 Shūgakuin Yamanohanachō - Are you interested in crafting a unique spoon from pure silver? Personalize your spoon by adding your favorite design to the prepared spoon fabric using a chisel or stamp of your choice. Shape it into a spoon by hammering it. Once shaped, refine the edges with a file and burnisher.

A skilled craftsman will then polish it using a machine, ensuring safety throughout the process. Finally, complete the polishing yourself with an abrasive. The finished spoon measures approximately 12cm in length and 2.7cm in width, making it ideal for use as a teaspoon or similar purposes.
