Matsukan Crystal Gold and Pink Moon Wakasa Lacquerware Chopsticks Set 22.5 cm (8.9 in) with Chopstick Rests (Set of Two)

Embrace the ethereal beauty of the moon with these exquisitely hand-painted chopsticks from Matsukan’s Crystal series. Set alongside are two Hasami ware chopstick rests in pale yellow and soft pink.

Featuring shimmering full moons that float on a cosmic black canvas, the Gold Moon set radiates a tranquil yet mystical aura. The Pink Moon set is adorned with golden lunar motifs, which are accentuated even further by the rare beauty of a reddish-pink moona celestial spectacle observed when the Earth casts its shadow in perfect alignment with the moon. 

The Crystal series chopsticks feature the distinctive fude-gaki technique, an inventive brush-painting method developed by master craftsman Matoba Masayoshi of Matsukan. At present, his brush-painting technique flourishes in the hands of the next-generation artisan, Fujii Yuya, who produces countless captivating pieces.

Matsukan, based in Obama City, Fukui Prefecture, stands as a leading producer of lacquerware chopsticks rooted in the traditional craft of Wakasa lacquerware. Since its beginning in 1922, Matsukan has remained dedicated solely to chopstick manufacturing. While honoring the intricate artistry and lasting craftsmanship of Wakasa lacquerware, their products are thoughtfully designed to complement contemporary living.
