About the Origin - Echizen Lacquerware
Echizen lacquerware has a history that dates back to the 6th century. A hallmark of this craft is the hananuri technique, where the final lacquer coat is carefully applied and dried to prevent brush marks or dust, resulting in a flawless finish. Chopsticks made in this style not only offer a smooth, refined feel but also allow users to fully appreciate the beauty of lacquer. Additionally, the gold leaf used in the design becomes even more radiant over time, enhancing the charm and making these chopsticks a joy to use.
