This set of chopsticks will add sophistication to your dining table, with their enigmatic dark wood and auspicious motif called takara musubi. The ebony chopsticks feature the motif in silver for a cool and stark contrast, while the other pair has a softer appeal with a combination of warm rosewood and gold motif.
Takara musubi translates to "treasure knot" in English and is said to have been used when wrapping treasures. Among its many connotations are prosperity and long life. These chopsticks may serve as a reminder that our most treasured moments should be safeguarded and cherished for many years to come.
Ebony and rosewood are characterized by their fine quality and hard surface. They are known to become more lustrous the more they are polished.
Presented in a specially crafted paper box with “Happy Golden Wedding Anniversary” in Japanese, this chopstick set is a perfect gift for couples celebrating their 50th anniversary.
