On these chopsticks it sits alongside heart-shaped petals in fresh blue and red lacquer, giving the pair a warmth that suits both everyday use and the table set for guests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in the Echizen Shikki (越前漆器) tradition of Fukui Prefecture, a lacquerware craft with roots stretching back over 1,500 years and designated by Japan's Ministry of Economy as a traditional craft. Echizen craftsmen have refined the balance, tip geometry and lacquer application of chopsticks for centuries, producing a surface that is smooth to the touch and slightly grippy enough for confident handling. The blue and red colourways are finished in urushi lacquer over a slim wooden body, producing a surface that is smooth to the touch with just enough grip to handle food confidently. Includes chopstick rests. A considered daily-use set or a practical gift.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Echizen urushi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52928665715031,"sku":"CHT-LAC-EUL-001-","price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/9328\/9303\/files\/DSC05024.jpg?v=1778169127","url":"https:\/\/iromizu.co.uk\/products\/blue-white-urushi-coating-chopsticks-set","provider":"iromizu","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
