This striking gift set includes two pairs of Wakasa lacquerware chopsticks with chrysanthemum designs and two chopstick rests shaped like lion masks from the traditional shishi-mai “lion dance.”
Each chopstick is decorated with a single chrysanthemum flower. The chrysanthemum flower holds deep significance in Japan as it serves as the emblem of the Imperial Family. It is traditionally revered for its power of warding off evil spirits and promoting longevity.
Often considered a lucky charm, the lion head motif is perfect for New Year's Day and other special occasions. This gift set carries a wish for a long and healthy life. The lion's mouth is designed to open, allowing you to place your chopsticks inside.
