This set, named uchiiwai after the Japanese custom of giving return or thank you gifts, includes two pairs of dark brown-lacquered wood chopsticks with glittering tops. They offer the classy sheen of traditional lacquerware coupled with an eye-catching design.

The longer pair measures 22.5 cm (8.8 in) and is accented with green and silver detailing, while the shorter pair is 20.5 cm (8.1 in) in pink and silver. The chopsticks are presented in a paulownia wooden box, adorned with a Japanese noshi—a traditional gift ornament symbolizing good fortune—featuring the word "uchiiwai" in Japanese characters.

This chopstick set is made by Ishida, which has been making Wakasa lacquer for over eighty years. Wakasa lacquerware has been a traditional craft of Obama City, Fukui Prefecture since the early Edo period.

Although named the "uchiiwai" set, these chopsticks are suitable for various occasions. It's a charming set that makes for a one-of-a-kind gift!
