Gold Leaf Colored Chopsticks Pair Set with Chopstick Rests

This elegant set features a pair of chopsticks and matching rests, adorned with scattered gold leaf on vivid red and blue handles. The faceted upper handles showcase layers of color and metallic shimmer, carefully applied by skilled Kyoto artisans using traditional techniques. 

Measuring 23 cm (9 in) and 21 cm (8.3 in), the chopsticks offer a comfortable grip with gently contoured shapes and lacquered tips for a smooth, polished feel. The rectangular rests echo the chopstick design, featuring the same brilliant gold leaf and a central groove that keeps the chopsticks securely in place.

Presented in an elegant box with a book-style opening, adorned with traditional mizuhiki knot motifs symbolizing happiness and connection, this set makes a meaningful gift for weddings, anniversaries, or shared celebratory moments.

Ishida

Ishida is a creator of Wakasa lacquerware, a traditional art of Obama in Fukui Prefecture that dates back to the early Edo period (1603–1868 CE). With over eighty years of experience, Ishida continues to honor this rich tradition.

By focusing on materials, design, and texture, they create chopsticks that are both beautiful and functional. Rooted in skilled craftsmanship, Ishida has also developed advanced machinery to produce chopsticks of high quality while remaining cost-effective. Their products harmonize tradition and innovation along with warmth and precision.

Wakasa lacquerware is one of Japan’s leading production centers for lacquered chopsticks. Originating in Obama City, Fukui Prefecture, Wakasa lacquered chopsticks have a history spanning approximately 400 years and currently account for over 80% of domestically produced lacquered chopsticks in Japan.

These chopsticks are crafted using a unique technique that embeds abalone shells and eggshells in lacquer, creating shimmering ocean-inspired designs. While preserving traditional artistry, they are also designed for modern practicality.
