Origin – Wakasa Lacquerware

Obama City is one of Japan's major producers of chopsticks, manufacturing nearly 90% of the country's chopsticks. Wakasa Lacquerware began in the early Edo period when craftsmen from the Obama domain designed patterns based on the ocean floor. These chopsticks, which depict the ocean's appearance using materials such as eggshells, abalone shells, pine needles, and rapeseed, have a mystical quality. The chopsticks are finished by layering colored lacquer and gold leaf, then applying additional layers of lacquer, resulting in a durable and refined finish. Furthermore, the tips of these chopsticks, known as "crane's beak," are not only capable of grasping delicate items but also symbolize longevity. They are chopsticks you can trust and enjoy using.
