This is a unique gourd-shaped chopstick rest set by Hozan Kiln of Kyo ware. The gourd shape, which spreads out at the bottom, has been considered a good luck charm for warding off disasters and bringing in happiness since ancient times in Japan. 

Each chopstick rest features a painting of a different flower – plum blossom, cherry blossom, hydrangea, autumn leaves, and camellia – allowing you to enjoy the beauty of flowers from each season. These are expressed in soft hues and gentle, hand-drawn lines, capturing the essence of their beauty.

Boasting a sleek and seamless surface, these ceramic chopstick rests serve as a quintessential addition to your daily dining experience. Effortless to maintain, their pristine condition is easily preserved, ensuring lasting elegance and hygiene. Harmoniously blending with an extensive variety of tableware, they introduce a touch of sophistication to any dining ensemble.

These chopsticks are packaged in a beautiful purple paper box, making them a splendid choice whether you’re treating yourself or selecting an exquisite present for a special occasion, ensuring they bring joy to any recipient.

Hozan kiln was founded in 1951, and the current owner, Yoshitsugu Kato, is the third generation. The kiln’s specialty is chopstick rests delicately decorated with seasonal motifs. While respecting the traditions of Kyo ware and Kiyomizu ware, the kiln continues to produce dishes that meet the needs of customers and can be used for a long time.
