Radiant Dragon Chopsticks
Estimated Shipping Widget will be displayed here!
These chopsticks feature a majestic dragon, its full form revealed when placed together as a pair. Shimmering as if dancing under the moon, the design conveys movement and grandeur, bringing an element of artistry to the table.
This striking motif is brought to life through the traditional kaizogan “shell inlay” technique, where carefully selected abalone shells are meticulously embedded. Their iridescent luster 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.
