At least one of those huge containers being offloaded by giant cranes at the Port of Los Angeles was full of Tsukubai instead of Toyotas.
Tsukubai is the traditional stone basin used to wash one's hands before a tea ceremony in Japan, or to wash one's hands while weeding--a more modern use.
You can find reasonably priced concrete imitations in Los Angeles or buy the real rock-solid, granite basins imported by George Yamaguchi. They cost from about $300 for the low kinds that require some stooping (considered humble and worthy) to $1,000 for an extremely handsome tall one that requires no humility at all. Considering what they weight (George is not sure, but they can be put in the trunk of the car), the price per pound is pretty good.
There are basins that look like natural boulders, basins shaped like an old Chinese coin, basins shaped like a chrysanthemum flower and basins that are simply round and elegant.
