Chopsticks with two pointed ends, made from Yoshino cypress wood, wrapped in celebratory patterned hosho paper.
Cypress has been used as a sacred wood in shrines and temples since ancient times.Washi Club's "Onmae Gozenbashi" (Imperial Meal Chopsticks) are made from domestically produced Yoshino cypress wood from Nara Prefecture. Craftsmen individually shape these chopsticks to a lucky, widening eight sun (approximately 24cm) for use in celebrations. Based on the concept of "sharing a meal with the gods," where people partake in offerings to the gods to receive blessings, one end is for the gods and the other for people. Therefore, these chopsticks are carved with two pointed ends, tapering at both sides.They are carefully crafted as a set of five pairs, wrapped in celebratory patterned hosho paper, to ensure "five virtues are passed on."
Please use them on joyous occasions such as New Year's Osechi Ryori (traditional Japanese New Year's food) and Ozoni (New Year's soup), as well as for baby's first meal ceremonies, coming-of-age ceremonies, betrothal ceremonies, and weddings.
