Take hold of our most popular pair of chopsticks. Extremely well designed, comfortable to hold and remarkably simple to pick up food.

The inspiration for this clever design was to find a way to make eating with chopsticks easier for older Japanese women and men whose hands may shake. The end result is a great pair of introductory chopsticks for people of all ages and nationalities. Great to have around when entertaining.

Details include:

• Completely hand crafted from rosewood using traditional methods perfected over 80 years.
• Length: 18.5cm (7.3″)
• Preferably hand-wash, although dishwasher safe
• Set comes with a hand-carved wood chopstick stand.
• This is a wholesale price. Each order comes with a set of 10 chopsticks and stands.
• Handmade smoked bamboo carrying mat available (highly recommended).
• Very unique, makes an ideal gift for someone who has everything.

1. Cut the carefully selected wood to the desired size. The wood used is either imported rosewood or ebony.
2. Shave the wood using a specially designed plain from the Edo period (1603-1867). The artist rotates and gently shears each chopstick countless number of times until it reaches a preferred state.
3. Once a group of chopsticks are created, they are dampened and spun together to create a unified length.
4. With approximately seven chopsticks laid side-by-side in one hand, the craftsman polishes the chopsticks into their final shape.
5. The chopsticks are polished again and laid to dry naturally under the sun for 1 day.
6. A final polish and buff is applied, thus delivering a distinguished shine that helps to preserve the wood. With time, the chopstick will “age” gracefully and beautifully.
