== Overview ==
The official name for katanuki is , lit. diecut candy, but it is commonly called or simply . Although it is called diecut candy, it is not made for the purpose of eating. The raw materials are indeed foodstuffs, but because it is not distributed as food, and because it is a health hazard to consume and is not particularly appetizing, it is generally not eaten.
Katanuki was once a regular good carried in carts by ''tekiya'' (peddlers) on ''ennichi'' (auspicious Shinto days when festivals are often held), but at present this is becoming less common. A long time ago, it was a side-show at ''picture story shows''.
Aside from carts, the molds are sometimes sold at small candy stores, though this is rare.
