Chopsticks for special occasions. The pattern painted on them symbolizes thunderclap rushing through the air immediately after the lightning strikes. Their shape is inspired by the iwai-bashi (祝箸) ceremonial chopsticks, which are also double-sided.

Traditionally, only one end is used for consuming food by men — the other being reserved for the gods.

However, beyond their symbolical meaning, this is a very practical pair of chopsticks. One tip can be used to eat food, while the other for taking dishes from a communal table.

Both tips are textured for easier grip.

Made in Japan.

Length 28cm.

Also available in shades of a midnight storm.

Don't forget about picking a chopstick rest.

What are Wakasa-nuri Chopsticks?

Wakasa-nuri chopsticks are handcrafted using a unique lacquering technique that has been passed down through generations of artisans in the Wakasa region of Japan. This technique involves applying multiple layers of lacquer, typically made from natural materials such as urushi, onto a base material such as wood or bamboo. Each layer is carefully dried and polished to create a smooth and glossy finish.

The result is a chopstick that not only looks beautiful but is also durable and long-lasting. The multiple layers of lacquer create a strong and sturdy structure that is resistant to wear and tear. Additionally, the unique colors and patterns created by the multi-layered finish make each pair of Wakasa-nuri chopsticks truly one-of-a-kind.

Wakasa-nuri chopsticks are a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of Japanese lacquerware. They are a popular choice for everyday use and special occasions, and make a thoughtful and unique gift for anyone who appreciates beauty and functionality in their dining experience.
