Each pair may vary slightly due to the nature of the raden inlay and lacquer finish.
These Wakasa chopsticks are crafted in Japan from natural wood and finished with traditional lacquer.
The design is called Kōjin (光陣). The kanji combines 光, meaning light, and 陣, which can refer to a formation or gathering. Together, the name evokes the image of light coming together in a radiant formation, reflected in the subtle sparkle across the surface.
The delicate sparkling details along the chopsticks are created using raden (螺鈿), a traditional decorative technique where thin pieces of mother-of-pearl shell are carefully inlaid into lacquerware. As light catches the surface, the shell reflects subtle iridescent colours, giving the chopsticks a refined, shimmering effect. The raden decoration is applied to the front side of the chopsticks, while the reverse side is left plain.
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.

What Our Customers Say
Let customers speak for us
This is a beautiful kitchen cloth.
A pleasure to use.
I love mine paired it with gorgeous chopsticks 🫶
Wow! I was fortunate to buy this on special. It reminds me of my holiday in Tokyo. The tea's aroma and tastes no matter how subtle from green tea to matcha comes through so beautifully. It's such a special treat to know there are skilled craftsmen still continuing to make something they are excellent in. It's so humbling. Big thanks.
Great quality. Bought as gift. Thanks.

Haven't tried Waka yet but Kiyo is good quality. Very happy with it.
Great online store. Have purchased several items and I am happy with the quality of all of them. The staff's communication is excellent. And delivery is fast. Highly recommended.
It's beautiful. Fast delivery. Thanks.
My package arrived packed so well - I was impressed. Items were even better than I expected. Yorokobi is a place I shall return to whenever I have a "I miss Japan" episode!
I bought to try and I must say this towel is marvelous! Buy it, try it, love it!
On my last 2 trips to Japan I found these beautiful Kingfisher sauce dispensers, though in a larger size, but I thought they were expensive. Then I found this smaller one on your website and had to purchase to complete my wonderful memories of Japan. It is the right size for me and Kingfishers have personal meaning for me. It is exactly the quality of those I found in Japan. LOVE my little friend!
These are a perfect size for a rice bowl, not too much, just right. The glaze finish on these bowls is deep and rich.
Love my Daisy Dinner plate! Fast delivery and the item was well wrapped inside. Thanks!
beautiful ...arrived safely packed very well, great communication would definitely buy again
