Issou Zuiun Maki-e Wakasa Lacquerware Chopstick Set For Two

This elegant gift set features a pair of chopsticks and matching chopstick rests, beautifully decorated with maki-e lacquer and gold leaf. The chopsticks, crafted from natural wood and coated with a luxurious lacquer finish, come in two colors: black and red, each with a different size. The chopstick rests, also made from natural wood, are finished with a glossy urethane coating, adding to their sophisticated appeal.

"Zuiun" refers to clouds that symbolize auspicious events, represented here by the gold leaf that adorns the chopsticks and rests, creating a serene and luxurious design. The chopsticks have a glossy texture and a comfortable thickness, with roughened tips for a better grip on even the slipperiest foods like noodles. This thoughtful design makes them ideal for both daily use and special occasions.

Presented in a paulownia wood box, this set makes a perfect gift for someone special or a refined addition to your own dining collection. Made by Ishida, a company with over 80 years of experience in producing Wakasa lacquerware, these chopsticks embody the rich tradition and craftsmanship of Obama City, Fukui Prefecture, dating back to the early Edo period. Enjoy the timeless beauty and functionality of this exquisite chopstick set.
