Matsukan Sakura Breeze Wakasa Lacquerware Set of Two Pairs of Chopsticks 23 cm (9.1 in) / 21 cm (8.3 in) with Chopstick Rests (Set of Two)

The essence of a soft spring breeze weaving through delicate cherry blossoms is eloquently expressed in this set of two pairs of chopsticks. An elegant harmony ensues as the cherry blossom motif on each chopstick dances over soft silvery blue and gold. The black Wakasa lacquer base of the chopsticks creates a wonderful contrast with the beautiful decorations.

Further adding to the allure are the Hasami ware chopstick rests in a gentle pink hue. They are made using molds that are traditionally reserved for crafting rakugan, a classic Japanese confectionery.

Presented in a paulownia box with a lid, inscribed with the Japanese words "sakura saku"—a poetic ode to the blooming of cherry blossoms—these well-crafted chopsticks are a connoisseur's delight. 

Matsukan, based in Obama City, Fukui Prefecture, stands as a leading producer of lacquerware chopsticks rooted in the traditional craft of Wakasa lacquerware. Since its beginning in 1922, Matsukan has remained dedicated solely to chopstick manufacturing. While honoring the intricate artistry and lasting craftsmanship of Wakasa lacquerware, their products are thoughtfully designed to complement contemporary living.
