This set of bamboo chopsticks features the intricately crafted beauty of shiratake bamboo from Kyoto. A smooth and light-colored shine adorns one side of each chopstick, lending a traditional and elegant appeal. Enjoy their rustic natural charm in two subtle shades of brown.

The bamboo comes from Muko City in Kyoto Prefecture, a renowned bamboo-producing area in Japan. The unique clay-rich soil and climate conditions of the area yield bamboo that is hard yet fine-fibered, making the chopsticks exceptionally lightweight and easy to use.

An evergreen that grows quickly and straight, bamboo symbolizes prosperity in Japanese culture.

These chopsticks are hand-carved into a square shape, and maintain their natural texture of bamboo under a transparent coat of lacquer. Square chopsticks offer stability and align beautifully when set down on the table. Packaged in an exquisite paulownia box adorned with golden patterns, this set makes an ideal gift.
