This set carries daruma already shown with both eyes filled in, a small sign that whatever was wished for arrived, making it less a symbol of striving and more one of arrival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWakasa nuri (若狭塗) lacquerware has been made in Obama, Fukui Prefecture, for over 400 years, using a technique that builds up dozens of layers of lacquer, sometimes inlaid with eggshell or gold leaf, then polished back to reveal a marbled pattern beneath the surface. Ishida's Issou (一双) line applies that same patient layering to a chopstick and rest pair, presented together in a paulownia (kiri) wood box, the material Japan has long trusted to protect fine and delicate things.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ishida イシダ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54276716101975,"sku":"CHT-WOD-ISD-002-","price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/9328\/9303\/files\/Soma-web-37.jpg?v=1786059894","url":"https:\/\/iromizu.co.uk\/products\/ishida-chopstick-set-dream-daruma","provider":"iromizu","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
