These Wakasa chopsticks are crafted in Japan from natural wood and finished with traditional lacquer.
The design is called Oborozuki (朧月), which means “hazy moon.” In Japanese poetry, oborozuki describes the soft glow of the moon seen through a gentle veil of mist in early spring, creating a quiet and dreamy atmosphere.
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.
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.
