~Handmade Ebony and Rosewood Chopsticks~

Our company utilizes the techniques and methods of Osaka Karaki Sashimono, a nationally recognized traditional craft.
Each chopstick is hand-polished using only raw lacquer and finished with a wiped-lacquer technique using a lacquer brush. Unlike lacquered chopsticks, we do not apply multiple layers or use chemical paints, so the lacquer may come off more easily. Our process involves thinly applying lacquer to the wood through a wiping technique, preserving the natural texture of both the wood and the raw lacquer. This is a technique used for Karaki Sashimono furnishings.
Both the wood and the lacquer are breathable. Please understand that slight warping or easier peeling/flaking of the lacquer may occur. However, we believe you will notice the difference in the feel and the precise, seamless craftsmanship when you hold them.

~Tradition and Polished Skill and Spirit Passed Down~
Over 90 Years Specializing in Sashimono (Takashima Woodworking Co., Ltd.)

We have been dedicated to the manufacturing of Karaki Sashimono since our founding in 1927.
We preserve the traditional techniques and methods passed down from previous generations, creating numerous works that blend with modern lifestyles. Our company manufactures handmade crafts, furnishings, and small items, all cultivated through tradition and crafted with the utmost precision.
