Long, lean, artfully balanced, and subtly naturalistic, Tsuge takes the typically rather rustic Cherrywood shape and remakes it as something entirely exotic, expressed through an arching, forward-stretching bowl, slender transition, and of course, two knuckles of proper bamboo, tipped with quite a slim push stem. From a practical approach, it sits well, the "foot" is unobtrusive, leaving the smoothly-formed bowl comfortable in hand, and the chamber is quite deep.
