These chopsticks are made of natural wood, finished with urushi (Japanese lacquer), and adorned with a faceted design inspired by kiriko—Japan’s traditional glass-cutting craft.
Kiriko began as a technique to carve intricate patterns into glass, capturing and reflecting light. In this unique interpretation, the delicate brilliance of kiriko is fused with the deep elegance of lacquerware, highlighting the warmth and texture of wood in a whole new way.
Each pair is thoughtfully shaped to fit comfortably in your hand—smooth, well-balanced, and easy to use. They carry the essence of both crafts: the subtle glow of lacquer and the refined artistry of faceted design.
Perfect for daily use or a refined table setting, they bring a quiet sophistication to every meal.
