These Wakasa chopsticks are crafted in Japan from natural wood and finished with 100% natural urushi lacquer (本漆).
The design is called Akimitsu (暁光), meaning “dawn light,” referring to the gentle light that appears as the day begins.
The sparkling details are created using kai-morashi (貝もらし), a traditional raden technique where small fragments of mother-of-pearl shell are scattered across the lacquer surface. As light catches the shell pieces, they reflect delicate iridescent colours, creating an effect reminiscent of a star-filled sky.
These chopsticks are produced in Obama City, Fukui Prefecture, the heart of Wakasa lacquer chopstick craftsmanship in Japan. Guided by the philosophy that “chopsticks that go into your mouth are part of your food,” the maker insists on using 100% natural urushi lacquer, applied from the base coat through to the final finish.

Would you recommend it to others? 100%
After ordering the beautiful little teapot and using it everyday since receiving, I tend to look for your other items.
After seeing the beige salad serving or eating sized plates I decided to buy them.
I am not at all disappointed in my new plates.
We use them most days and it makes a meal look that extra luxurious.
great mug and great service
A good size cup for when I fancy a tisane, rather than green tea.
This is a lovely little bowl. Not sure what I'll use it for just yet, but the cat is so sweet
This matches the tea cup.... you can't have one without the other :)
I am a repeat customer. I find the service, postage and attention to detail to be excellent.
I will be a repeat customer for years to come.
It brings a smile to your face just making your tea. The kitties look so happy. Is my new favourite cup.
Was a gift for my daughter and she absolutely loves it, lm really impressed, might have to buy myself one.
These are beautiful!!
I had a “cat cup “ which friend made for me many years ago which I broke into many pieces-was thrilled to find your cup whilst scrolling Google-it has become my new favourite cup-love the graphics n cup shape.
Have a friend who is a “mad cat lady” and I will be gifting this wonderful plate to her-beautifully made n designed.
