Description

This set of bamboo chopsticks showcases the beauty of intricately crafted shiratake bamboo from Kyoto. An evergreen that grows quickly and straight, bamboo symbolizes prosperity in Japanese culture. Enjoy their rustic natural charm in two subtle shades of brown.

Sourced from Muko City in Kyoto Prefecture, a region famed for its bamboo, the area's unique clay-rich soil and climate conditions produce hard yet fine-fibered bamboo, resulting in chopsticks that are exceptionally lightweight and easy to use.

These chopsticks are hand-carved into an octagonal shape, and maintain their natural texture of bamboo under a transparent coat of lacquer. The tips are precisely crafted to facilitate picking up food easily. Packaged in an exquisite paulownia box adorned with golden patterns, these chopsticks make an ideal gift.

Matsukan, based in Obama City, Fukui Prefecture, stands as a leading producer of lacquerware chopsticks rooted in the traditional craft of Wakasa lacquerware. Since its beginning in 1922, Matsukan has remained dedicated solely to chopstick manufacturing. While honoring the intricate artistry and lasting craftsmanship of Wakasa lacquerware, their products are thoughtfully designed to complement contemporary living.
