What it is
A wooden rod with a group of needles bound to the end in silk, pushed at a shallow angle rather than straight down.
The long version
Tebori means carving by hand. The angle is what separates it from every other poking tool on this site: the needles go in obliquely, which is how the method lays the graded blacks that Japanese work is built on.
A machine can outline faster. Practitioners who keep the rod usually keep it for the shading.
