About the Origin - Echizen Lacquerware

With origins tracing back to as early as the 6th century, Echizen lacquerware is a traditional craft steeped in history. The unique Hananuri technique involves applying a final lacquer coat that eliminates brushstroke marks and dust, creating a smooth finish. This craftsmanship results in chopsticks that allow you to fully appreciate the qualities of lacquerware with a smooth, pleasant texture. Additionally, the gold leaf accents age gracefully over time, enhancing their beauty and making them a joy to use.
