dried sorghum stalks, hollow and springy, bundled by hand into a five-finger claw and corded off with a red tassel.
my grandmother had a bamboo one. as a kid I just swung it around — nobody's back itches at that age. it does now. the folk name for this whole category is 不求人: you won't need to ask anyone for help.
heads up: handmade, so the bands and characters shift piece to piece. it scratches; it doesn't cure anything, whatever the wooden ones on your For You page are claiming.
material: hand-bundled sorghum broom stalks (高粱苗), cotton-poly cord, red tassel size: 14.2 in / 36 cm colors: natural straw tan, red/green/blue bands with woven lucky characters (varies by piece), red tassel for: the spot on your back you can't reach. deep in your chinamaxxing era? this is the real thing, not a tote bag heads up: keep it dry, keep it away from toddlers and dogs — natural fiber, not chew-proof
no instructions included. you won't need anyone else for this one.
