Oriental Artisan Wooden Chopsticks

No, these chopsticks are handcrafted with delicate lacquer finishes that can be damaged by the high heat and harsh detergents of a dishwasher. We recommend hand washing them with mild soap and drying them immediately to preserve their luster.

These chopsticks are crafted from premium natural wood chosen for its durability and balanced weight. The wood is then treated with multiple layers of lacquer and acrylic urethane to protect the material and create the signature 'Starry Night' finish.

The shimmering motif is sealed beneath durable layers of lacquer, which protects the design from fading or chipping during regular use. With proper care, the finish will remain vibrant for years.

Because they are made from natural wood, they offer a warmer, more tactile grip than metal or plastic alternatives. The tapered tips are specifically designed for precision, making it easier to pick up delicate foods like sushi or noodles.

Each pair is a unique work of art, meaning the placement of the shimmering specks and the grain of the wood will vary slightly from piece to piece. This subtle individuality is a hallmark of authentic Japanese craftsmanship.
