The Art of "Haku-Chirashi" & Origin
This original design by Ginza Natsuno brings together traditional Kanto wooden chopstick craftsmanship and moyou-haku—a delicate Kyoto Nishijin-ori technique of embellishing surfaces with gold, silver, colored foils, mother-of-pearl, and lacquer.
Crafting a multi-faceted geometric chopstick with complex foil ornamentation was long considered difficult in lacquered tableware. This unique piece achieves a perfect harmony of form and brilliant decoration, making it one of our most popular designs.
