About the Origin - Wakasa Lacquerware
Located in Obama City, Wakasa is a major production hub, responsible for nearly 90% of chopsticks made in Japan. Wakasa lacquerware originated in the early Edo period when craftsmen of the Obama domain depicted underwater scenery as motifs. Using materials such as eggshells, mother-of-pearl, pine needles, and rapeseed, they created chopsticks with a mysterious and captivating appearance.

The process involves layering colored lacquer and gold leaf, followed by additional coats of lacquer, resulting in a durable finish. The finely tapered tips, known as "crane's beak," allow for precise handling of even the smallest items while also symbolizing longevity. These chopsticks offer both aesthetic beauty and reliable functionality, ensuring a delightful dining experience.
