Origin – Echizen Lacquerware
Echizen lacquerware dates back as early as the 6th century. The technique known as Hana-nuri, where lacquer is applied to prevent brush marks and dust, gives these chopsticks their distinct finish. Many of these chopsticks have a smooth, pleasant feel that allows users to appreciate the full beauty of the lacquer. Additionally, gold leaf increases in beauty over time, making these chopsticks a joy to use and admire.
