A beautifully crafted vintage Japanese katsuobushi kezuriki (鰹節削り器), made by Ogura Seisakusho Co., Ltd. (小倉製作所) in Tokyo, Japan. This traditional kitchen tool is used for shaving katsuobushi, dried bonito blocks, into delicate flakes used in Japanese cuisine — especially for dashi (soup stock). The piece features fine Japanese joinery and is made from natural wood, as noted on the original instruction leaflet inside the lid, showing the maker's name and address. This example represents classic Japanese craftsmanship — functional yet elegant, perfect for collectors of Japanese kitchenware, design, or culinary history. Maker: Ogura Seisakusho Co., Ltd.
