Juhachizen-Chopsticks-Koma Series

"Koma" series chopsticks, designed with brightly colored lacquer lines on white lacquer.
The original "18zen lacquering" lacquer chopsticks.
This is a lacquering technique in which the lacquer is soaked into the chopsticks, giving them a unique and unprecedentedly rough lacquered surface.
To make the chopstick tips stronger and easier to grip, all 18zen chopsticks are coated with a technique called dry lacquer to prevent slipping.
