Hanakago Wakasa Lacquer Chopsticks and Paulownia Gift Box

Sale price$69.00

LIMITED STOCK AVAILABLE

Hanakago captures the graceful allure of Wakasa lacquerware through its vivid vermilion finish enriched with delicate, light-catching accents. The layered lacquer work reveals depth and luminosity, evoking the beauty of woven flower baskets that inspired its name. Slightly thicker than standard, the chopsticks offer a comfortable and steady grip that enhances their refined presence at the table.

Each pair is handcrafted by Masahiro Furui, a distinguished chopstick artisan with over sixty years of experience since beginning his craft at fifteen. His lifelong dedication to precision and beauty is evident in every curve and layer. Presented in a paulownia gift box, Hanakago is a radiant example of enduring Japanese artistry.

Meet the Artisan

Matsukan

Meet Matsukan, the go-to chopstick producer hailing from Obama City, Fukui Prefecture - a prominent hub for lacquered chopstick production rooted in Wakasa lacquerware traditions. Established in 1922 in the heart of Kitashioya, Obama City, they've been perfecting the art of chopstick crafting for over a century.

Capturing the 'excitement' of those who use them. Harvesting 'excitement' from the artisans. Brimming with 'excitement' from their dedicated team. Radiating 'excitement' from their charming town. They don’t just aim to create chopsticks; they endeavor to explore the endless possibilities of this essential element on the Japanese dining table.
