Gold & Silver Leaf Chopsticks Pair Set with Chopstick Rests

This elegant set features chopsticks and matching rests, adorned with glimmering gold and silver leaf on a glossy black base. Each piece is crafted with care, from the base coat to the final lacquer finish, with skilled artisans of Kyoto hand-applying the metallic leaf. The striking leaf accents and the refined craftsmanship of Wakasa lacquer create a beautiful collaboration, blending rich color with a modern design steeped in Kyoto’s cultural spirit.

With a length of 23 cm (9 in), these chopsticks offer a comfortable grip with a smooth, rounded form. The crescent moon-shaped rests mirror the chopsticks' design, creating a cohesive and elegant presentation.

Presented in an elegant box with a book-style opening, adorned with traditional mizuhiki knot motifs symbolizing happiness and connection, this set makes a perfect gift for special occasions such as weddings and anniversaries.

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.
