Traditional Japanese Lancewood Black Ume Washi Chopsticks, 23cm

Description

These wooden chopsticks are decorated with a delicate floral pattern in shades of red and pale pink. They are a pretty alternative to plain lacquered chopsticks, adding a playful touch to any dining occasion. Made from strong and durable lancewood, these chopsticks are designed to be used again and again. Use them to eat sashimi, agedashi tofu and donburi with family and friends.

The ends of the chopsticks are covered in washi, which is decorative Japanese paper featuring traditional motifs and designs. Ume means plum in Japanese and this design is inspired by the plum trees which bloom in Japan in early spring. Plum blossoms are a symbol of hope and new beginnings.

These wooden chopsticks are an elegant finishing touch for a Japanese-inspired table. They would also make a great gift for friends who enjoy Japanese food and culture.
