Kana-ami: Traditional Japanese handmade metal cooking utensils and kitchenware (京の金網細工 辻和金網店)

From Kyoto Foodie:

Tsujiwa Kana-ami is a shinise and workshop just south of the Imperial Palace (Kyoto Gosho) that offers metal implements. As the store and workshop are one, customers can see both the store shelves and the products being made by the third generation owner.

In Japanese kana means metal and ami means to weave, mesh or net.

Kana-ami utensils are used for a variety of cooking techniques as well as some serving and presentation.

Simple wooden forms are used to make many of the products.

These well-worn tools

at Tsujiwa Kana-ami

have been in use

for more than 80 years.
