Matsukan Crystal Series
The Crystal series captures the artistic spirit of Matoba Masayoshi, a master chopstick craftsman at Matsukan celebrated for creating over 500 beautiful chopstick designs. Each pair is meticulously hand-painted using the fude-gaki technique, Matoba's original brush-painting method that gives a fresh take on the Wakasa lacquerware tradition. Today, the craft lives on through Fujii Yuya, his apprentice who perpetuates the vibrancy and inventive spirit of Matoba's legacy, ensuring that chopsticks from this series continue to add a burst of color and life to the table.
