These skillfully handcrafted chopstick holders portray the sweet dumplings typically favored during Japan’s springtime. Traditionally, the dumplings display the cherry blossom pink, green tea denoting the vibrant green of spring, and the blueish-white pastel reflecting springtime clouds. The fine detail and rich colors are so skillfully done your guests may question if they are, in fact, real. Individually hand crafting means that each chopstick holder lends your table an artistic, timeless charm.
Please note that the chopstick rest does not include the dango stick. You can use a small piece of a toothpick to replicate the stick.

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.
Arita Ware
Arita porcelain originates from an area known as Arita on the Island of Kyushu, Japan. It is known as the birthplace of fine Japanese porcelain, and the artisans of Arita have produced exceptional ceramic works for more than 400 years. The beautiful contrast between the porcelain and the hand-painting is obtained by using exceptionally high-quality porcelain stone, allowing the glazed surface to display a distinct glossy mirror with a rich ivory luster.
