Spirited Away bath token

· One min read

A handmade replica of the bath token from Spirited Away, carved from wood and finished with paint and gold leaf. Made as a gift for a friend.

Finished token

Starting from a couple of offcuts of wood, I cut one down to shape, carved a slot into the top, and sanded it smooth. Painted it red and black to match the tokens from the film, then applied gold leaf for the circle.

Work in progress

Holding the finished token

Pretty happy with how it turned out — the gold leaf adds a lot.
