About the Origin - Wajima Lacquerware
Wajima lacquerware is one of the most famous lacquerware styles in Japan, known for its brilliant decorative techniques such as maki-e (gold or silver powder decoration) and chinkin (gold inlay engraving). The chopsticks are crafted using local wood, specifically Noto cypress (ate), and the base is reinforced with a mixture of ground earth and lacquer, resulting in remarkable durability.

These chopsticks are not only robust but also showcase a perfect balance of elegance and practicality. They are lightweight and provide a smooth feel, enhancing the dining experience.
