Bamboo Items by Kiyoshi Suzuki

Liberdade Fair in São Paulo, Brazil

One of the best loved booths at the Liberdade Fair. Kiyoshi Suzuki sells tongue scrapers and other items, such as nail files and spoons, that he makes from bamboo. The charming octogenarian relates his health and energetic disposition to cleaning his tongue regularly with bamboo scrapers. They must be thoroughly washed and be periodically soaked in bleach for one night, he says.
