Description

The Hemp Star Square Chopstick Rest features the traditional asanoha, or hemp leaf, motif in vivid indigo on white porcelain. This geometric design has been cherished in Japan since the Heian period, where it was believed to protect against misfortune and symbolize healthy growth, especially for children. Its sharp lines and repeating pattern create a timeless look that continues to resonate in Japanese design today.

Handcrafted in Mino ware, the rest showcases the refined artistry of porcelain making while remaining highly practical. Compact and durable, it keeps chopsticks neatly elevated during meals, protecting both utensils and table surfaces.

Equally at home in traditional or contemporary settings, the Hemp Star Square Chopstick Rest adds cultural depth and quiet elegance to your table. A small but meaningful detail, it brings both beauty and symbolism to dining occasions, making it a thoughtful piece for everyday use or as part of a curated collection.

Explore our complete Chopstick Rests collection to add more charm and style to your dining experience.

More Details



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.
