These wooden chopsticks, rooted in the traditions of Obama and Wakasa lacquerware, carry the refinement of regional craftsmanship into everyday use. The smooth surface is adorned with the traditional ichimatsu checkered pattern—a motif long regarded in Japan as a symbol of prosperity and auspicious continuity.
The thick, octagonal grip offers a natural, steady feel in the hand, while slightly textured tips help grip food with ease. Crafted from Bombay black wood, known for its density and strength, the material lends both durability and a reassuring weight.
Each pair comes in a MUSUBI KILN original box, finished with white washi paper adorned with the auspicious shippo (seven treasures) pattern. Understated yet refined, the packaging lends a sense of occasion, making it equally suited for personal use or a thoughtful gift.

Originating in Obama City, Fukui Prefecture, Wakasa lacquerware has flourished for over 400 years and today accounts for over 80% of Japan’s lacquerware chopstick production. Its signature technique embeds abalone shell and eggshell into layers of lacquer, polished to reveal patterns inspired by the ocean floor.
While rooted in traditional craftsmanship, Wakasa lacquerware also meets the needs of contemporary life. Each piece embodies both tradition and functionality, bringing understated elegance to daily use and refinement to special occasions alike.
