About the Origin - Echizen Lacquerware
Echizen lacquerware has a long history, dating back to the 6th century. A hallmark of this craft is the hananuri technique, where the final lacquer coating is applied and dried without leaving brush marks or dust, resulting in a flawless finish. Many chopsticks made using this method allow users to fully appreciate the beauty of lacquer with their smooth feel.
Additionally, the gold leaf used in some designs becomes even more radiant over time, enhancing the enjoyment of these exquisite chopsticks. This combination of durability, craftsmanship, and elegance makes Echizen lacquerware highly sought after.
