What is this used for? It’s from Japan and used for food apparently

1. For beating rice into mochi.

   This one seems to be for big amounts of rice though, a smaller wooden mallet called kine is usually used for just one family serving size.

2. Looks like a suribachi or Japanese pestle, but I don’t know what it’s tied to.

   Edit: should actually be surikogi instead of suribachi

3. Ur mom

4. That’s what grandma use to hit us with if we used a metal spoon in the rice cooker!

5. That stick is a mortar stick made of Japanese prickly ash wood.

6. Looks like an Oni’s club to me…

7. Morale booster. Beatings will continue until morale is improved.

8. It’s what they use to make sure it’s dead lmao

9. Fred Flintstone’s club and back scratcher….lol

10. It is a traditional wooden pestle for grinding sesame seeds. I’ve used that kind of thing since I live in Japan.
