Product Description

Discover the exceptional craftsmanship of Kawatsura Lacquerware with these handcrafted chopsticks featuring a dragonfly motif.

In Japan, the dragonfly is traditionally known as "Kachi-mushi" (the Victory Insect) because it only flies forward and never retreats. Representing an unyielding spirit ("futaiten"), this motif was historically cherished by samurai as a symbol of good fortune. Handcrafted by master artisan Takashi Abe, these chopsticks bring a rich sense of Japanese heritage and dedication to your dining table.

Ideal for personal use or as a thoughtful gift. Custom engraving is available for an additional fee, allowing you to create a truly one-of-a-kind personalized pair.
