So, i had a zakuri 270mm aogami super sujihiki recently with a handle that had a crack in it. I'm going to replace the handle and the two types i have on hand are iichi and ho wood octagonal ones. Which one do you guys think i should use?

The colors may be a little off, butt the lower one in the picture has my vote!

Top one.

the colors are indeed a bit off... it was a quick shot.
Its funny... on here, the votes are mostly for the iichi (bottom one), but on facebook its the opposite.
to clarify for some: Ho on top (lighter), Ichi on bottom

Lower one gets my choice. The upper one looks quite pale in comparison.

Iichi for me also - btw, what is iichi?

Both are kind of icky to me but that is because Marko, Mike, Stefan, Randy, Pierre, Devin, Bob and Mario have spoiled us all so much.
iichi if ironwood, koa, redwood, buckeye, maple, ivory and amboyna aren't choices.
