Kokusen Large Chopsticks

These wooden chopsticks are made of ebony, a famous wood with a sense of luxury and dignity. The gold line in the center of the chopsticks adds a nice accent, giving them a simple yet modern impression.

Ebony has become increasingly rare over the years, and its use as a material for chopsticks is decreasing. The grain of the wood has been preserved, making the best use of the material's texture.

The chopsticks are long, sturdy, and easy to hold even for people with large hands.

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

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.
