Yakumo Lacquerware Cherry Blossom and Rabbit Chopsticks
These chopsticks are crafted in the Yakumo lacquerware style, a traditional lacquerware from Shimane Prefecture, showcasing decorative techniques such as makie and raden in abundance. Featuring motifs of cherry blossoms and rabbits, they are a symbol of good fortune. The smooth lacquer finish adds a warm and inviting touch, making them a truly special pair.
About the Origin: Yakumo Lacquerware
Yakumo lacquerware is produced in Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture. The process involves decorating the surface with colored lacquer, abalone shell, gold and silver powder, or dried lacquer patterns, which are then coated with transparent lacquer. As time passes, the lacquer becomes more transparent, allowing the intricate, vivid patterns to emerge and giving these pieces their distinctive beauty.
