These natural wood chopsticks feature the signature of Wakasa lacquerware: luminous shell inlay. Layer upon layer of lacquer is carefully applied, imbuing the smooth, jet-black surface with the artisan’s intent. Across the chopsticks, the raden (shell inlay) glimmers softly, like starlight scattered in the dark.

The tips are finished with a fine, grain-textured anti-slip surface for a secure grip and confident handling. The sparkling decoration suits celebratory occasions and elevates everyday tables, and—despite their lacquer coating—these chopsticks are dishwasher safe.

Choose the length that fits your hand: the pink-shimmering raden pair measures 21 cm (8.3 in), while the blue-shimmering pair measures 23 cm (9.1 in). They also make a thoughtful gift when purchased as a pair.
