T309.  A boxed pair of hibashi: iron chopsticks used to rearrange coals during the tea ceremony.  26 cm. long each.  The iron sticks are inlaid with leaves: all silver on one and the other has one leaf in gold.  Condition is excellent.  The label on the box reads, Higo zogan.

I’ve never had a set of hibashi before; no idea what they should be worth or even if there’ll be any interest.  How about $125.
