About the Origin - Wakasa Lacquerware
The city of Obama produces nearly 90% of Japan’s chopsticks, making it a major production hub. Wakasa lacquerware originated during the early Edo period when craftsmen from the Obama domain began creating designs inspired by the ocean floor. Using materials such as eggshells, blue shells, pine needles, and rapeseed, they depicted the underwater scenery in a mysterious and artistic manner. These chopsticks are completed by layering colored lacquer and gold leaf, followed by additional layers of lacquer for a durable finish.

The chopsticks also feature tips referred to as "crane's beak," allowing for a secure grip on small items and symbolizing longevity. They are both practical and a symbol of good fortune, offering a reliable choice for everyday use.
