Origin - Echizen Lacquerware
Echizen lacquerware has a long history, dating back to the 6th century. The technique known as hanami-nuri, which involves applying a finishing layer of lacquer to avoid brush marks and dust, is characteristic of these chopsticks. This method results in chopsticks that allow you to fully appreciate the richness of the lacquer, offering a smooth and pleasant feel. Additionally, gold leaf used in these pieces grows more beautiful with time, making these chopsticks a delightful item to use and cherish.
