Starlit Shell Inlay Chopsticks Pair Set

These chopsticks feature a modern interpretation of the traditional Wakasa lacquerware style, where layers of color, shimmer, and texture come together in a graceful design. Golden flecks scatter across the glossy surface like stardust, creating a captivating contrast between the deep black and vermilion red bases.

The gold pattern is created using a spraying technique known as fukitsuke, each chopstick finished individually by skilled craftsmen. Through the raden technique, fine abalone shell inlay is brought to life in delicate silver bands that glimmer with soft, iridescent light, like stars stretching across a night sky.

With their textured tips for easy handling, these chopsticks are ideal for both daily use and special occasions. Presented in an elegant wooden box, they make a thoughtful gift that celebrates the beauty of craftsmanship and the quiet wonder of the night sky.
