Matsukan Sakura Fuji Wakasa Lacquerware Set of Two Pairs of Chopsticks 23 cm (9.1 in) / 21.5 cm (8.5 in) with Chopstick Rests (Set of Two)

Embrace the refined artistry of Matsukan with these chopsticks, adorned with the design of the iconic Mt. Fuji and cherry blossoms, or sakura in Japanese.

The striking contrast of black and deep red provides a dramatic canvas and showcases Japan's renowned peak in a delicate and impactful manner. The intricately drawn cherry blossoms on the handles bring a flourish of elegance to the chopsticks, and serve as an exquisite focal point. 

Adding to the allure of these chopsticks are the Hasami ware rests, finished in a gentle pink hue. These rests 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 elegantly crafted chopsticks are a connoisseur's delight. This pairing makes for an impeccable gift, sure to enchant aficionados of authentic Japanese tableware with its refined charm and cultural allure.

Since its beginning in 1922, Matsukan has remained dedicated solely to chopstick manufacturing.
