Arima Two-Tone Chopsticks

These wooden 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 the black chopsticks with blue and yellow are 23 cm (9 in). Please choose the one you prefer according to your hand size.

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.
