This product will take approximately one year to be delivered.
Wajima lacquerware is known for its durability, but depending on how it is used, scratches and dullness may occur. All purchased products can be used for a long time by repairing them, such as by repainting. If you would like to have your product repaired, please contact us at the address below.
You might think that Wajima lacquerware requires special care, but in fact, it should be treated no differently than other bowls or plates. Simply wash it with your regular dish soap and dry it on a rack. After washing, we recommend wiping off any excess water.
Wajima lacquerware is sensitive to drying, so a humid environment is required to maintain its lustrous luster. Because the air close to the ground is humid, we recommend storing it in a low place rather than on a high shelf. You can also purchase it as a decorative item, but as it will last longer in a humid environment, we recommend using it occasionally to allow it to absorb moisture.

Towards beautiful chopstick use,
Between admiration and inferiority complex
"Someone who uses chopsticks beautifully." This is not just one of the highest compliments given to adults. This phrase seems to include not only table manners, but also the dignified posture and consideration for the lifestyle of the person who places their chopsticks. The person who is told this is genuinely happy.
No, when people hear the term "chopstick user," they unconsciously shrink back. This may be due to bitter memories of delicious chopstick use at a meal in the past .
I was distracted by the beans rolling from side to side and the struggle of the clams floating around the soup bowl and slipping past the tips of my chopsticks, and I couldn't take my eyes off the bowl, hunched over. I was angry at myself for not being able to do the dishes properly...
This happened all over Japan, so incidents like this probably happen every day. I would like to say to anyone who has been involved in this situation, "Poor dexterity is not necessarily the cause of misbehavior."
Supporting the "beauty of utility"
Craftsmanship I: Carving
One pair of chopsticks can perform around 12 functions: picking up, scooping, pinching, wrapping, loosening, slicing, placing, peeling, cutting, holding, carrying, and mixing.
So, what kind of chopsticks are good chopsticks?
Aroughcriterion for judgment is
・Easy to hold
・Easy chopstick handling (ease of use)
・Beautiful appearance
It will be.
The first thing that catches your eye is the shape of the chopsticks, with their sharp corners.
This pentagonal shape has a meaning. Each pair is hand-carved by a craftsman. When you use the chopsticks, the corners point upwards, creating a straight line that naturally rises.

Craftsmanship II: Dry Lacquer
The deep luster of Wajima lacquer chopsticks is a testament to the durability they achieve through the process of applying and sharpening multiple layers of lacquer, including the undercoat, intermediate coat, and top coat.
In one word, it is "durable and resistant to peeling."
In addition to the usual finishing touches, Shosa also uses the dry lacquer technique, in which a thin layer of lacquer is applied to a glass plate, and after it hardens, the lacquer is peeled off and crushed and sprinkled on the surface of the lacquerware.
The lacquer, sprinkled like a dusting of snow, gives the chopsticks a fine uneven surface, preventing slipping. Combined with the rough texture, this gives the viewer a sense of functional beauty.
These chopsticks are characterized by their versatility, allowing them to be used on anything, from slippery noodles that are difficult to eat to slimy foods like taro.
The comfort of being able to eat food without having to exert extra force on your body to avoid dropping it.
Using chopsticks effortlessly leads to beautiful movements and naturally makes you stand up straight.
You will have time to enjoy your meal while chatting with everyone.
Chopsticks that improveyour lifestyle
High-quality items are what you want to use in your everyday life.
As more and more people choose natural products as much as possible for food, clothing, and everyday items, there is growing interest in environmentally friendly Wajima lacquerware products made entirely from natural materials.
However, I feel hesitant to suddenly start using expensive tableware on a daily basis.
At the same time, we also hear voices saying that it's not easy to decide to buy one.
It may be easier to incorporate chopsticks, which are practical items that are used every day for meals.
The rice is served softly in a rice bowl, and you pick up a mouthful with your chopsticks and bring it to your mouth.
Carefully remove the flesh from the grilled fish using chopsticks.
Eating our daily meals using chopsticks in a rational and beautiful way seems to have the power to not only improve our mind and body, but also to bring order to our lives.
Like the clothes we wear three times a week without realizing it, "manners" are seemingly plain and simple, but they are a part of our everyday lives.
Takahiro Taya, a lacquerware producer at Taya Lacquerware Store, has been using it since he was a child.
You will understand their quality when you hold them. They are also recommended as chopsticks for couples.
