A leaf that never fades. At first glance, the Ginkgo Leaf Chopstick Rest looks so lifelike you may wonder if it was picked straight from the tree. Its vivid yellow and soft green accents bring a playful touch to the table, sparking conversation and delight with every meal.

Each piece is carefully shaped and painted to capture the fine veins and natural curves of the ginkgo leaf. The subtle variations in color and detail highlight the charm of hand-finished work, making every rest slightly unique.

Mino Ware

Mino ware is a traditional pottery from Gifu Prefecture with a history of more than 1,300 years. Its origins trace back to the Nara period, when early potters began producing simple earthenware. During the Momoyama period (late 16th century), Mino became Japan’s leading center for ceramics, giving rise to distinctive styles such as Shino, Oribe, and Kizeto—each deeply connected to the aesthetics of the Japanese tea ceremony. Today, as Japan’s largest pottery-producing region, Mino continues to evolve with contemporary life, blending timeless craftsmanship with modern design to support the way people eat and live every day.

Chopstick Rest

When setting the table for a Japanese meal, chopstick rests (hashioki) are a must-have item. These rests are essential for hygiene so the chopsticks don’t touch the table. They are also a wonderful way to add whimsy, charm, and a personal touch to your table setting. With so many themes and designs to choose, chopstick rests are quite popular to collect. It's fun to switch them up for different seasons, menus, and occasions.
