NAME's Soap Recipe
Tsukubai Soap by Magdalena Berg
Tsukubai is the Japanese name for the water bowl which the host uses to wash his/her hands during a formal Japanese tea ceremony. The tea ceremony is said to capture the spirit of Zen.
This all sounds lovely but I recommend this soap be placed on a dish outside while having a BBQ - it'll be great for keeping away the flies and mozzies, I hope. Then it'll at least be soap that works!
