Founded in 1920, in the city of Obama, from Fukui Prefecture, this company has specialized in Wakasa lacquered wooden chopsticks, a traditional craft passed down since the beginning of the Edo period. The Wakasa lacquer involves creating patterns on wood using eggshells, seashells, and pine needles. These patterns are then highlighted by applying multiple layers of lacquer. This company produces extremely high-quality chopsticks by leveraging machinery and equipment it has developed itself, as well as relying on the expertise of experienced artisans.
