Thank you for viewing my wonderful items! This is a pair of Edo wooden chopsticks for a couple. I believe the cherry blossom part is made of cherry blossom shells! It also has glitter, making it sparkle beautifully with the cherry blossom shells. These are very lovely chopsticks, and I hope they find a good home. I've priced them quite affordably, so please refrain from price negotiations. I am quite a clean freak, so I pay attention to hygiene, but they are stored in a personal chest. This is just my personal opinion, so please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned. Also, I apologize for the length, but please also read my profile. Thank you very much.
