Add these sparkly gold chopsticks to your collection! Each chopstick is
very labor intensive and can contain up to 50+ layers of lacquer. Wakasa
nuri hashi - made in the Fukui prefecture, located along the coast of
the Sea of Japan, since the Edo period. Craftsmen apply multiple layers
of lacquer to each chopstick and depending on the style, may also
incorporate small pieces of shell or mother of pearl to enhance the
design. The final design of the chopsticks comes from how the lacquer
coatings are carved in order to expose the layers. Carving can also
determine the final shape of the chopstick. After carving the chopstick
must be polished in order to bring out the beauty and colors of the
lacquering. The Wakasa Sakin Japanese chopsticks are 9 inches in length
with shimmery gold, glittery flecks on black. Made in Japan.
