Estimated Shipping Widget will be displayed here!
This set of three pairs of chopsticks, each held together by awaji knot motif mizuhiki, exudes a festive and sophisticated impression.
Made of Yoshino cedar, they are light, easy to hold, and can be washed and reused multiple times. They are also thin at both ends, so you can pick up food on either side.
The auspicious awaji knot is beautifully subtle, yet perfect for celebrations, such as New Year’s or when hosting guests.
The traditional craft of mizuhiki, known for its intricate knot designs, never goes out of style with its graceful beauty. Long used in decorative gift wrapping, each knot carries a special meaning, tailored to the specific celebration it represents.
The awaji knot is one of the most commonly used Japanese knots and can often be found on items relating to ceremonies, such as weddings and graduations. Once tied it is difficult to untie and only tightens when pulled at, which makes it an apt symbol for creating a strong unbreakable bond. This classic mizuhiki knot has connotations of longevity and everlasting happiness.
Hirohashi was founded in 1986 by Hirohashi Mikihiro, a temple carpenter, in his hometown of Yoshino, Nara Prefecture. Nakaiso Makiko inherited her father's passion and launched a new brand of chopsticks. The natural wood used is mainly Yoshino cedar, which is 60 to 100 years old. The uncoated finish highlights the wonderful combination of delicate wood grain, as well as a fine texture and aroma.
Note: Avoid exposing mizuhiki to water to preserve its quality.
