Jiyu Kajin-Chopstick Rest -White

Mizuhiki chopstick rests with five-color blooming flowers

This is a set of chopstick rests made in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture, by Jiyu Kahito.

There are a total of 133 colors, ranging from classic Japanese traditional colors to light pastel colors to lame colors.

This chopstick rest set uses five pastel mizuhiki colors from among those 133 colors.
The cute flower-like shape is a traditional mizuhiki knot called the "ume knot.

This "plum knot" has the meaning of "being tied tightly and not coming undone," and is one of the knots often used at weddings and other celebratory occasions.
