The Rustic Hemp Star Chopstick Rest brings together earthy texture and timeless Japanese design. Its bean-like form is crafted from natural stoneware, with part of the surface left raw to highlight its rustic character. The remaining section reveals a smooth white glaze adorned with the traditional blue hemp leaf pattern, known as asanoha.

This geometric motif has been cherished in Japan since the Heian period, symbolizing strength, protection, and the hope for a child’s healthy growth. Its crisp lines against the soft clay surface create a striking balance of simplicity and refinement.

Handcrafted in Mino Ware, this chopstick rest is not only practical but also deeply meaningful. It provides a graceful place to set chopsticks between bites, while introducing a subtle cultural story to the dining table. Perfect for everyday meals or special gatherings, it embodies both utility and artistry, enriching each dining experience with a touch of Japanese tradition.

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.
