Wajima lacquerware (Wajima-nuri) is one of Japan's most prized craft traditions, originating in Ishikawa Prefecture and designated as an Important Intangible Cultural Property. These chopsticks are finished with gold foil from Kanazawa — Japan's gold-leaf capital — through a painstaking process involving over 120 distinct production steps. The elegant paulownia wood presentation box makes this a ready-to-gift premium souvenir requiring zero wrapping. A sophisticated choice for those who want to bring home genuine Japanese artisanship.
📋How to Use in Japan
1. Hand wash only — never soak or put in the dishwasher
2. Dry immediately after washing to preserve the lacquer surface
3. Apply a small amount of camellia oil occasionally to maintain luster
4. Store in the paulownia box away from direct sunlight to prevent lacquer cracking
5. The chopsticks improve in appearance with careful, regular use
