More Details
Wakasa Lacquerware
As Japan’s foremost lacquerware region specializing in chopsticks, Wakasa lacquerware has been crafted for over 400 years in Fukui Prefecture. Developed in the coastal city of Obama, this tradition grew from daily life rather than formality, focusing on creating chopsticks that are durable, comfortable to hold, and beautifully finished for long-term use. Today, Wakasa remains Japan’s largest production center for lacquered chopsticks, carrying forward a legacy of craftsmanship that balances practicality, beauty, and lasting quality for the modern table.
Chopsticks
Chopsticks are the quintessential utensil for any Japanese meal. They are personal as well, since many Japanese use their own individual set of chopsticks at home during mealtime. It's easy to customize the size, material, decoration, and finishes to suit individual tastes and needs. Choices like natural wood, hand-carved, hand-painted, and lacquered make chopsticks highly collectible and a great gift.
