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 in the early Edo period when craftsmen of the Obama domain created designs inspired by the ocean floor. Using materials such as eggshells, blue shells, pine needles, and rapeseed, these chopsticks evoke a sense of mystery and artistry.

The production involves layering colored lacquer and gold leaf, followed by additional coats of lacquer, resulting in a highly durable finish. The tips, known as "crane's beak," allow for precise handling of small items and symbolize longevity. These chopsticks are both practical and symbolic, offering peace of mind with their exceptional craftsmanship.

These chopsticks come in various sizes, allowing you to select the perfect fit for your hand.
