The image of the delicate camellia flower is vividly captured on these chopstick rests from Tosen Kiln. The intricate blend of dark and light green shades of the leaves beautifully contrasts with the white and red glossy petals that sit upon the creamy-white base.
The camellia designs are hand-painted by expert painters with a deep-rooted background in Japanese-style painting. Following the painting process, a nami-yu glaze is applied, bestowing a clear and shiny coat over the detailed drawings, enhancing the watercolor-esque hue of the camellia leaves.
Pair these chopstick rests with other items from Tosen Kiln's Camellia series to achieve a harmonious aesthetic. They also serve as captivating decorative pieces, adding a touch of Kyoto's elegance to any setting.
This exclusive set of five chopstick rests is beautifully housed in a premium paulownia box, also decorated with hand-painted camellias. This artful ensemble makes an impeccable gift, ensuring that any special occasion becomes truly unforgettable.

Maker / Brand
Tosen Kiln embraces Kyoto’s traditional craftsmanship while adapting it for the modern era. Originally founded in 1868 as a Kiyomizu ware wholesaler, Tosen Kiln opened a ceramics production studio in 1944. Today, the kiln continues its legacy in Kyoto’s history-rich Gojo neighborhood.
Drawing inspiration from the precise wheel-throwing techniques and luminous paintings of Edo-period master potter Nonomura Ninsei, Tosen Kiln preserves this heritage while creating pieces that suit contemporary aesthetics.
