Sound of the Sea Shell Inlay Checkered Pattern Chopsticks Pair Set with Chopstick Rests

These wooden chopsticks from Matsukan's Sound of the Sea series are crafted using the raden technique, where intricate cuts of mother-of-pearl are embedded into the lacquer. Lightweight and easy to hold, their tips are finished with a non-slip surface. The Hasami porcelain chopstick rests are made with a seashell-shaped mold originally used for rakugan, a traditional Japanese confectionery.

The offset design is inspired by ichimatsu, an auspicious traditional pattern that represents continuing prosperity.

After multiple layers of coating, shell inlays are placed on the surface. Additional layers are then applied for added shine and durability. Immaculately polished, the mother-of-pearl inlays shine softly on red lacquer and create a contrasting glimmer on black lacquer.

Presented in a paulownia box, the lid features elegant Japanese calligraphy displaying the characters "Sound of the Sea" alongside curved blue lines representing waves of the ocean. Whether as a gift for a friend or family member, or purchased for your own enjoyment, these chopsticks are a splendid choice certain to bring joy.
