Echizen Lacquerware Chopsticks - Sandalwood Crane & Turtle Design (Engravable)

These dishwasher-safe chopsticks are crafted from durable Echizen lacquerware, originally developed for the restoration of temples and shrines. The lacquer used is specially formulated to withstand the heat and drying process of dishwashers, ensuring exceptional durability.

The exquisite design is achieved using the sandalwood lacquer technique, where transparent lacquer is applied over silver maki-e (sprinkled design) to create intricate patterns with stunning, subtle hues. The motif features cranes and turtles—symbols of longevity and prosperity in Japanese culture.

Perfect as a thoughtful gift for elders or esteemed individuals, these chopsticks are a popular choice for both personal use and gifting. Their modern design reflects the craftsmanship of Tsuchinao Lacquerware, blending tradition with contemporary style.
