This set features chopstick rests in the shape of a traditional straw cape, portraying cats dressed as Ebisu and Daikokuten, two of the Seven Lucky Gods.
Ebisu, the god of fishermen, is known as the deity of prosperous business. He is depicted holding a sea bream in his left hand and a fishing rod in his right, symbolizing good fortune, as sea bream in Japanese tai is a homophone for medetai meaning auspicious.
Daikokuten, on the other hand, is represented holding a rice bale and a magic mallet in his right hand, symbolizing wealth, fortune, and prosperity. The two cheerful faces on these chopstick rests are sure to bring a smile to your face.
These rests offer a smooth texture and stability, enhancing your dining experience. The golden color of these rests will add a sparkling and festive touch to your dining table.
This set comes in a beautiful decorative box, making it an excellent choice for a gift.
