Wakasa Lacquerware Chopsticks Set - Floral Hairpin
The evenly spaced mother-of-pearl inlays create a beautiful design, making these chopsticks perfect for everyday use. The yagasuri (arrow feather) pattern is considered auspicious, symbolizing the warding off of evil spirits. Additionally, arrows are known to fly straight and not return once released. Inspired by this characteristic, it is said that during the Edo period, brides would be given yagasuri-patterned kimonos to ensure they would not "return" to their parents' home after marriage.
