About Echizen Lacquerware
Echizen lacquerware boasts a history dating back to the 6th century. Its hallmark technique, known as "hana-nuri" (flower coating), involves carefully applying a final layer of lacquer and allowing it to dry naturally, ensuring a smooth, flawless finish free of brush marks or dust. Chopsticks made using this technique highlight the beauty of lacquer while offering a pleasant feel when used.
Additionally, the incorporation of gold leaf adds a timeless elegance that becomes even more beautiful with age. These chopsticks are not just utensils—they’re pieces of art that grow more enjoyable to use over time.
