About the Origin - Wajima Lacquerware
Wajima lacquerware is among the most renowned in Japan, known for its stunning decorative techniques such as makie (gold or silver lacquer decoration) (*1) and chinkin (gold inlay carving) (*2). These chopsticks are crafted using local wood called ate (Japanese cypress from Noto) and a unique base coating that mixes powdered clay with lacquer, ensuring exceptional durability. They combine elegance with robustness while being lightweight and offering a smooth, comfortable feel at the tips.
