Blooming Sakura Shell Inlay Chopsticks Pair Set

These beautifully handcrafted Japanese chopsticks feature a natural woodgrain base adorned with luminous shell inlay. The design celebrates the fleeting beauty of blooming sakura, with delicate black and red blossoms drawn across an iridescent surface. 

The inlay is created using the traditional raden technique, in which thin layers of mother-of-pearl are carefully embedded into the surface to capture a soft, shifting glow. Each shell reveals its own natural pattern and tone, giving every pair a slightly different shimmer—one of the most beautiful qualities of raden craftsmanship.

Smooth and rounded for a comfortable hold, these chopsticks are designed for both daily use and special occasions. Presented in an elegant wooden box, they make a thoughtful gift for weddings, anniversaries, or housewarmings, capturing the gentle beauty of Japanese craftsmanship at every meal.
