What does the name mean? Pahkataide means gnarl art, visa is another name for gnarl, luu means bone and kuksa is the name of a wooden cup. Lohi means salmon.
Wood cups/mugs, such as the kuksa, are somewhat antibacterial: after a test period during which a kuksa was used daily for drinking coffee and washed only by rinsing with pure water, the kuksa showed a similar amount of bacteria as a porcelain cup taken straight out of a washing machine after the wash cycle.
