Kanpyō, Kanpyo or kampyo are long, thick, dried, Calabash shavings. [[Calabash]], Langeraria sicearia var hispida, is a variety of bottle gourd native to tropical Africa but has gained immense popularity in Japanese cuisine probably because of its health benefits and unique taste.

But the whole of this debate does not mean that kanpyo is only an ingredient of futokami; in fact, kanpyo graces the table in many other dishes as an esteemed ingredient, like Aemono, which are marinated foods, and Nimono, the simmered foods. So kanpyo can be considered a valued ingredient in Japanese cuisine throughout its history.
