ANTIQUE JAPANESE (c. 1920) BRONZE CHADO HIBASHI FIRE CHOPSTICKS

Description

This is a antique Japanese early-Showa Era (c. 1920's) set of bronze
hibashi

The handle end is ribbed both for decoration and assisted grip.
With the exception of some oxidation and having been well-loved, these

chopsticks remain in
