We found this rake and other pieces in the small post-towns called Magome & Tsumago, we carried these rakes with us along some of the Nakasendo trail. We got a few interested looks from fellow travellers but we think it was worth it. Rake your autumn leaves, tend to the garden or use it as a feature piece for the home.
