Red and Green Cherry Blossoms Chopsticks Pair Set with Chopstick Rests

This gift set brings together the craftsmanship of Tsugaru Vidro from Aomori Prefecture and Wakasa lacquerware from Fukui Prefecture.

Featuring a delicate cherry blossom design, the handles are painted in an attractive deep red or green hue. The moment you hold the chopsticks in your hand, you can truly appreciate the quality of authentic craftsmanship.

Tsugaru Vidro is known for its beautifully colored glass and advanced glassmaking technology. They are highly valued and have been designated as a traditional craft of Aomori Prefecture.

These glass chopstick rests are inspired by the image of apples, a specialty of Aomori, where the glass factory is located. Each piece is carefully handmade with nature's splendor in mind, from the shape and color to the minute details.
