Katana tsuka with wild geese shakudo fuchikashira. This tsuka has an amazing quality tsukamaki made of 4mm blue ito. Due to the age ito is almost black now, however it still has a gentle beautiful blue colour. 

Fuchikashira made of shakudo and decorated with wild geese and a moon. This shakudo has a slightly blue colour so it is a perfect match for the ito. Wild geese are well visible however moon is just a polished circle on the ishime ground. Therefore we know it is there but we cna't actually see it. Surrounding it are gilded clouds. There is somewhat similar fuchikashira in Mitsumura Collection under catalogue number 747-80690. Made by Hamano Shozui and motif is described as "Quiet Life Design". 

Both menuki made of shakudo with gilded elements. On the front side there are two magpies, one carying a branch. On the reverse side there is a weaving tool. This are both connected to story of Orihime and Hikoboshi, therfore to Tanabata festival. 

"Orihime, doughter Tentei(Sky King), wove beautiful clothes by the bank of the Amanogawa (Milky Way, literally "heavenly river"). Her father loved the cloth that she wove and so she worked very hard every day to weave it. However, Orihime was sad that because of her hard work she could never meet and fall in love with anyone. Concerned about his daughter, Tentei arranged for her to meet Hikoboshi who lived and worked on the other side of the Amanogawa. When the two met, they fell instantly in love with each other and married shortly thereafter. However, once married, Orihime would no longer weave cloth for Tentei and Hikoboshi allowed his cows to stray all over Heaven. In anger, Tentei separated the two lovers across the Amanogawa and forbade them to meet. Orihime became despondent at the loss of her husband and asked her father to let them meet again. Tentei was moved by his daughter's tears and allowed the two to meet on the 7th day of the 7th month if she worked hard and finished her weaving. The first time they tried to meet, however, they found that they could not cross the river because there was no bridge. Orihime cried so much that a flock of magpies came and promised to make a bridge with their wings so that she could cross the river. It is said that if it rains on Tanabata, the magpies cannot come because of the rise of the river and the two lovers must wait until another year to meet. The rain of this day is called "The tears of Orihime and Hikoboshi"- source: Wikipedia.

Wrong description listed. Not battery powered.
Be careful if you think this is powered by a rechargeable battery as the description indicates. I needed a battery operated bottle warmer. It's actually corded, so they have the wrong description. Now I get to fill out another return and waste gas driving to return facility.

Works great!
This bottle warmer is excellent! I’ve tried a few and none of them seem to heat the milk at all. I tested this one using a wide mouth bottle filled with 2oz of water. I followed the directions for using a plastic bottle and selected the correct options and added the water. I then turned it on and watched it go. It isn’t loud while operating, but the nightlight is very small and hard to see. Not a big deal to me because I have small lights in my kitchen that I can turn on at night if I need to use this in the middle of the night. The settings on the machine are a little different than when you select options on the machine. It says for a plastic bottle with 2oz on quick is 2:30, but the time was automatic 3:30. I think you have to manually adjust the time according to what the manual suggests. It’s very neat that it spins around gently to ensure the bottle heats evenly. When I took the bottle out it wasn’t so hot that I couldn’t grab it, but I could tell it warmed it well. I obviously had the time too long because I didn’t realize until after that I needed to manually adjust it, but this was just a test run. The water was nice and hot, so I think it would have been perfectly warmed if I had only done 2:30 as recommended. My only issue is typically bottle warmers can also warm baby food, but there is no instruction or anything on how to heat it or how long. I might play around with it and give it a try when I’m ready to make baby food, but for now it’s excellent at heating bottles!

works well
Bc Babycare Bottle Warmer arrived quickly and is as described. It takes very little space on the counter, looks sleek and delivers! It only takes a few minutes to warm up a bottle and it works with both skinny (Dr.Brown's) and wide-mouth (Avent) bottles. It's intuitive and easy to use, and it can be used to defrost, warm up and keep the milk warm. Works well for us.

Rotating bottle warmer
Barely warms up faster then other baby bottle warmer. The timing for the 9 oz Philips Avent natural baby bottle with 160 mL only got milk to 92 F so if wanting to get to higher temp you have to let it heat for a little longer. Without a lid the water does evaporate pretty quickly requiring frequent refills. The design also makes it hard to wash. Build quality is excellent but with the larger footprint it takes up more counter space than other bottle warmers.
