The boiler man in Spirited Away

Hello everyone, Could some please tell me what the tool the Boiler man in Spirited Away is useing and what it is called, by tool I mean the round disk knife that he is useing to chop up herbs?

That tool is called YAGEN. It's a kind of stone mill.
He is grinding medicinal herb. It is usaly used by raditional medicine doctors.

Btw, his name is Kama-ji. Kama means boiler and Ji means old man.
We can see same charactor in Laputa. He is also boiler man of pirate's air ship.

Thank you, Kanta for your help, were did you find a pic. of the yagen, I have looked all over the web for what it was called and could find nothing. do you know of a web site that I might find out more about it.

as far as my name gose it is part of my first name , backward and forward. Donald , Don, Nod, Nodon

Does the same voice actor do both the old engineer in the airship in Laputa and Kamaji in SA? They sound very similar to me.

YO!
well.. im not from the UK.
Im in Spain, following the REALLY tight last matches in the League, i mean:
Madrid 66 points
Barcelona 66 points (my team)
Sevilla 65 points
Valencia 64 points

4 matches left.. its all still in there. Barcelonas playing today.
Gotta win, eventhough its a tight match.

But Im still interested in major football events in other countries FA cup, or the German one.. whatever. And I like Man U.
mourinho sucks.

Man U should have won. They were the better team for the entire game except for that one moment at the end of extra time.

soccer, i will never understand the subtlties of the sport, as much as i detest it, i saw Rooney curve a sweet goal on a highlight reel, so i have to root for manU after that, too bad they lost.

YO!
I am football crazy.
Playing it.. watching it.
Its beautiful.

My favourite playing game could possibly be table tennis thoiugh.
I play it a lot, and although im no master, ive gotten pretty good at it..
and its loads of fun.

i hate soccer(football) im quite well recieved to every other sport minus basketball. and i dont really even bother talking abotu soccer or i get in an arguement with someone.
i prefer america's national passtime. yes i like baseball, yes im also aware most people would rather watch grass grow or any equivalents. but thats just the way im wired.
