• 1-15 Shūgakuin Yamanohanachō - Would you like to make your one and only spoon in the world from pure silver?
  Add your favorite pattern to the spoon fabric prepared here using a chisel or stamp of your choice. Hit it with a hammer to make it into a spoon shape.
  Once it’s in the shape of a spoon, smooth the sides with a file and burnisher.
  Next, a craftsman polishes it using a machine (because they use a machine, this is done with safety in mind).
  Finally, please polish it yourself with an abrasive.
  The approximate finished size is 12cm long and 2.7cm wide. Recommended for use as teaspoons, etc.
