Awaji Mizuhiki Chopsticks (Set of 3 Pairs)

This set of three pairs of chopsticks, each held together by awaji knot motif mizuhiki, exudes a festive and sophisticated impression.

Made of Yoshino cedar, they are light, easy to hold, and can be washed and reused multiple times. They are also thin at both ends, so you can pick up food on either side.

The auspicious awaji knot is beautifully subtle, yet perfect for celebrations, such as New Year’s or when hosting guests.

The traditional craft of mizuhiki, known for its intricate knot designs, never goes out of style with its graceful beauty. Long used in decorative gift wrapping, each knot carries a special meaning, tailored to the specific celebration it represents. 

The awaji knot is one of the most commonly used Japanese knots and can often be found on items relating to ceremonies, such as weddings and graduations. Once tied it is difficult to untie and only tightens when pulled at, which makes it an apt symbol for creating a strong unbreakable bond. This classic mizuhiki knot has connotations of longevity and everlasting happiness.
