About the Origin - Echizen Lacquerware
Echizen lacquerware has a history believed to date back to the 6th century. A distinctive feature of these chopsticks is the hananuri technique, where the final lacquer coat is applied and dried carefully to prevent brush marks or dust, resulting in a smooth and refined finish. Many chopsticks crafted in this style provide a pleasant texture when used, allowing you to fully appreciate the beauty of lacquer. Additionally, the gold leaf used in the design becomes even more radiant over time, enhancing their allure and making them a joy to use.
