Kakusho Kiln Cat Mikawachi Ware Chopstick Rest Set

It is not just a functional piece, but a conversation starter at any dining setting.

This rest boasts a stable weight ensuring your chopsticks stay in place. The unglazed bottom provides an excellent grip on the table, while the thoughtfully curved back nestles your chopsticks with ease.

Their craftspeople are skilled in the use of the gentle shades of blue characteristic of Mikawachi ware, and enhances its presence with the beauty of white porcelain.
