Arima Two-Tone Chopsticks

These chopsticks are a wonderful example of a well-played game of contrast. The glossy red lacquer is paired with pink and purple, while the black is paired with yellow and blue, creating an energetic, contemporary take on a traditional item.

This is further enhanced by the slightly rough texture of the colored areas contrasting with the smooth and glossy lacquer. The non-slip tips make it easy to pick up food.

The brown chopsticks with pink and purple are 21 cm (8.2 in) and black chopsticks with blue and yellow are 23 cm (9 in). Please choose the one you prefer according to your hand size.
