Estimated Shipping Widget will be displayed here!
These wooden chopsticks feature an ethereal depiction of Mount Fuji, emerging in quiet grandeur beneath an expansive sky. When placed together, they reveal a scene of serene stillness, capturing the mountain’s majestic presence. As light touches the surface, the shell inlay shimmers, offering a delicate reflection of Japan’s natural beauty.
This exquisite design is brought to life through the traditional kaizogan “shell inlay” technique, where carefully selected abalone shells are meticulously embedded. Their natural iridescence shifts with the light, creating a mesmerizing display of depth and brilliance.
Crafted from the finest striped ebony, a prized hardwood with a striking grain, these chopsticks have a smooth texture and a naturally balanced feel. Over time, the wood deepens in character, enriching every dining experience.
Elegantly presented in a paulownia wood box, they make a refined and thoughtful gift.
