This beautifully carved wooden mold is traditionally used to make rakugan, a dry sweet cake for auspiscious formal occassions.
Though usually used for sweets, this mold can be used to shape anything, such as soaps or candles. It's also a wonderful antique to display in your home, or to give as a unique gift.
This little wooden mold features a delightful pair of bananas, each one carved in wonderful 3-dimensional detail. What a delicious rakugan!
