Brand new, unused! [Kaga Handmade Chopsticks] These chopsticks are carefully crafted by artisans from "Urushi Gei Yoshita Kasyou Studio," a Kaga maki-e studio famous for producing tea ceremony utensils. They are named "Urushi Kenko-bashi" (Lacquerware Health Chopsticks) with the wish for the health of the customers. Each pair has a slightly different expression, making them a unique, one-of-a-kind item. These chopsticks feature black lacquer at the base and are recommended for men. [Easy to Pick Up Food] These chopsticks allow you to enjoy the beautiful wood grain and warmth of lacquer. The tips of the chopsticks are finished with silver nashiji (pear skin) processing, making it easy to pick up grilled fish, tofu, and other foods, enhancing the eating experience. They have a moderate thickness and a sense of weight, fitting comfortably in the hand for stable use. They can be washed with a soft sponge and dish soap, just like regular tableware, making them easy to care for. Although they are not dishwasher safe, they will add color to your daily dining table and enrich your mealtime. [Made in Ishikawa Prefecture with Pride] These are special chopsticks finished by hand by artisans in Ishikawa Prefecture. The base material uses "Noto Hiba" wood from Ishikawa Prefecture, highlighting the beautiful wood grain created by nature. Artisans in Noto, Wajima, carefully apply natural lacquer to each chopstick, providing the thickness and slight roughness unique to lacquer that feels comfortable in the hand, with a finish that makes the most of the wood grain. Furthermore, the tips of the chopsticks are finished with a unique silver nashiji processing by the artisan group of "Urushi Gei Yoshita Kasyou Studio" in Kaga Yamanaka Onsen, adding an elegant and gorgeous shine. These chopsticks are a fusion of the nature and traditional crafts of Ishikawa Prefecture, allowing you to feel the warmth of handcraftsmanship every time you use them. [For Small Gifts] They come in simple packaging with the chopsticks placed on a backing card that evokes the night sky. The "Maki-e Urushi Kenko-bashi" from Japan, which incorporates the traditional techniques of Kaga maki-e into daily life, will become more beloved the more you use them. They are delivered in simple packaging, making them ideal for home use, souvenirs for family and friends, or small gifts.
