Sipulit: Sunset seen through hanging onions

Six wonderful patterns that look like Scandinavian textiles are on standby. From top to bottom, kaamos: a fantastic sunrise like the polar night of Scandinavia, kurkku: the shadow of a cucumber on a green curtain, latakko: the green of the trees reflected in a puddle after the rain, sipulit: the sunset over hanging onions, linja: a thin ray of sunlight peeking through the cloudy sky, hamppulehti: the veins of a hemp leaf beautifully illuminated by the light

The material used is thinned wood from local Fukui cedar trees.

Skilled craftsmen carve each pair individually, following the traditional wooden shape of Wakasa lacquer chopsticks.

[Social Good! ... things and actions that have a positive impact on the global environment and society] These chopsticks are made from thinned cedar from Fukui Prefecture, a local area that is considerate of the forest environment. The ease of holding and picking up is due to the meticulous handiwork of chopstick artisans who are well acquainted with the human hand. The attention to detail of the chopsticks' long history of production is evident in every detail. And yet, to make them easier to use, the tradition has been updated to suit modern life. Based on the traditional technique of applying multiple layers of paint and sharpening, the design is attached using dishwasher-safe polyester urethane instead of lacquer. The finish is a modern expression. At Who's Note, we would like to introduce and support projects and products that are [Social Good!]. Please look forward to it!

Dishwasher safe.
