Origin – Kagawa Lacquerware

Kagawa lacquerware traces its origins to the late Edo period, when Tamakatsu Zōtani researched and adapted techniques brought from Southeast Asia and China, such as "Kinma" (a type of intricate lacquer pattern) and "Zonse" (another style). The techniques of Kinma, Zonse, Gotō-nuri, carved lacquer, and Zōtani-nuri are representative of this region. These chopsticks gain depth and beauty the more they are used, offering a distinct, refined experience that sets them apart from those of other regions – truly a connoisseur’s choice.
