    Description

    Wakasa-nuri (lacquered) chopsticks from the Obama/Wakasa Bay area in Fukui Prefecture. More than an incredible 80% of the lacquered chopsticks in Japan are made here. Sometimes called "jewel-lacquer", Wakasa-nuri's unique style is crafted using shells, eggshells、etc., which represent the beauty of the seabed. With history, techniques and ingenuity inherited from Wakasa-nuri, lacquered chopsticks are not only a symbol of preserving tradition, they are also important lifestyle items that are made for the purpose of everyday dining.
