The surface of this soba sauce cup is decorated with a tobiganna technique. This is a technique of making a series of cuts using the cutting edge of a Japanese hand plane, called kanna in Japanese. The word tobiganna describes the way the kanna moves as if it were jumping (tobi) across the surface of the cup.
