🌸 In this clip from the Abandoned Japan series, I highlight an old bamboo rake, or 熊手 (kumade) in Japanese, found in the abandoned tea farm shed. This traditional tool, used for raking leaves, offers a glimpse into the everyday agricultural practices of the past. Join me as I explore the artifacts left behind in this rural setting.

Haiku:
Bamboo rake at rest,
Silent witness to hard work,
Nature’s hands at peace.
