Kikko Carved Chopsticks

These wooden chopsticks, rooted in the traditions of Obama and Wakasa lacquerware, carry the continuity of regional craft into daily use. The carved kikko (tortoiseshell) pattern lends a subtle rhythm to the form, while the surface is finished with a smooth, lustrous sheen that feels almost fluid to the touch. Vivid yet composed tones—red, yellow, green, and blue—hold a gentle depth, shifting softly with the light and bringing a sense of stillness to the table. Choose between two sizes for the best fit for your hands. Crafted from Malas wood, known for its lightness and resilience, they offer a balanced feel in the hand suited to everyday use. Each pair comes in a MUSUBI KILN original box finished with white washi paper adorned with the auspicious shippo (seven treasures) pattern. Understated yet refined, the packaging lends a sense of occasion, making these chopsticks equally suited for personal use or a thoughtful gift.
