Mr. Kai made these simple and beautiful hinoki (cypress wood) chopsticks with carrying cases. And of course, with his favorite detailing.
Be more environmental-friendly. Deplete less resource and use less disposable chopsticks, BYOC!
This is our standard size 23cm long chopsticks (with carrying sleeve). We also have a shorter version of 18cm.
Kai started crafting chopticks by hands over a dacade ago. He choose wood that is is soft to touch, and gives off a natural fragrance. Kai stresses that he never like to add additional finish or stain to the wood, in order to respect the material in its original state. Most people may not think too much about it, but chopsticks is an essential utensil in our daily life (esp in Asia). Handmade chopsticks makes you think twice about taking care of quality-goods.
The chopstick case and the wood inlay was designed by Kai, expressing his technique and passion as a Daiku (carpenter).
Kai only produces in small-batches, our inventory is small. So order while available. We also offer special "name engraving" on the case, we can translate any Western language into Japanese characters. This would make a very unique gift for your special occasion (anniversary, wedding, celebration, New Year... etc. ). So plan ahead and order early!
