Awaji Knot Chopstick Rest

The shiny, glossy surface and hand-drawn lines are very beautiful on this chopstick rest. The surface is uneven to match the design, giving it a modern and luxurious look.

The colored lines are carefully hand-painted by craftsmen, and since they are hand-painted, they are not exactly the same.

The colors are available in gold, silver, and red.

Since it is a congratulatory motif, it is recommended as a wedding gift, housewarming gift, etc.
