These chopsticks are made using the techniques of Wakasa-nuri, a type of lacquerware produced in the Obama City area. While more and more products are produced by machine, the "Crystall" series chopsticks are a gem of craftsmanship, made by hand by artisans with a lot of care. The most attractive feature of these chopsticks is their beautiful design, which depicts countless stars fluttering in the night sky, just like a painting. The chopsticks can be personalized and are dishwasher-safe, making them special and easy to use.

Gorgeous Wakasa lacquered chopsticks made by hand.
Wakasa-nuri is a traditional craft of Fukui Prefecture. Wakasa-nuri refers to the lacquerware produced in the Obama City area, and Wakasa-nuri accounts for most of the production of lacquered chopsticks in Japan. While machine-made products are on the rise, the "Crystal" series of chopsticks is a gem, made by hand by craftsmen with a lot of thought and care.
Using chopsticks as a canvas, the beautiful design depicts countless stars fluttering in the night sky like a painting, creating a uniquely gorgeous impression.
It can be said that these chopsticks were created by a craftsman who, while making full use of traditional Wakasa-nuri techniques, has honed his skills day by day to create chopsticks that transcend conventional boundaries and make use of free ideas.

As a craftwork using lacquer coating techniques, there is concern about how to care for the chopsticks, but since they are coated with urethane resin, they can be used in a dishwasher.

Roundness that fits comfortably in the hand and a tip that makes it easy to grasp things
The corners of the chopsticks are rounded to fit comfortably in the hand. The tips of the chopsticks are not too thick, but moderately thin, and the rough finish allows for a firm grip on slippery noodles and small food items.
The length of the chopsticks is 23 cm, which is said to be comfortable to hold on average, making them easy to use for both men and women.
