How must it feel to wake up like a samurai warrior? With courage, serenity and preparedness we could all get to work on time, right?
This is a very Japanese item that I haven't seen widely used outside Japan. The solid ceramic holder has a hole right through and is open at the bottom so you can stand your toothbrush upright on a shelf or bathroom surface.
Because of the simple design, it's easy to wash up and wipe away any water marks plus there's nowhere for water to puddle or bacteria to gather.
But it's not only made for your toothbrush. The ceramic stand can also be used as a pen holder for your work desk!
This shiny black design features the crest of the famous Akechi samurai family in gold on the front.
The story of Akechi Mitsuhide featured in the popular Japanese TV historical drama "Kirin ga Kuru" which inspired this commemorative piece.
Each one is individually boxed making it great for giving as a gift.
