[Tea utensils/tea ceremony tools, incense holder] Oshiroidoki (white powder) by Nikidori, a copy of the work by Nintokusai, made by Sasaki Reiho

●What is a two-season bird? It is pronounced "Nikidori" or "Futakidori".
Meaning: Wild geese (kari/gan).
From the Kuratama Collection (Muromachi Period): "Two-season birds, wild geese, return in the spring and autumn (another name from the poem by Tadamine). To which place do they call home, as they return twice in the year of the two-season birds?"
In this way, migratory geese arrive from northern Siberia in the fall and return in the spring.
It is assumed that the name comes from the fact that he spends two seasons a year in Japan.
The arrival of wild geese is said to be in early October, and is one of the signs of the arrival of autumn.
