Shell Inlay Chopsticks - A variety of Graceful Komachi on Purpleheart Base (Engravable)

These elegant chopsticks are crafted in Iwate Prefecture using the shell inlay technique (which the wood is carved and inlaid with mother-of-pearl to match the shape).

The shimmering glow of the shell near the handle creates a beautiful pair of chopsticks. Featuring a distinctly Japanese cherry blossom pattern, these chopsticks are also popular as personalized gifts. Why not consider a set with engraved names?

About the Origin - Shell Inlay Chopsticks (Iwate)
The inner pearl layers of shells are skillfully crafted into intricate patterns and embedded into the chopsticks. This decorative technique, commonly known as raden, has been uniquely refined to create exquisite, functional art pieces for everyday use.

About the Material - Purpleheart
Native to the tropical regions from Mexico to southern Brazil, Purpleheart is known for its striking purple hue, which is also used for textile dyes. In addition to its beautiful luster, it boasts excellent durability and insect resistance. With a satisfying weight and unique feel, these chopsticks provide an addictive tactile experience.
