【KAKEHASHI】Hakata-ori Five-Color Chopstick Rest

 Each chopstick rest is handcrafted by artisans using five-color Hakata-ori fabric and encased in clear resin. This is a truly unique Hakata-ori chopstick rest.
 I hope this will be an opportunity for you to feel the profound depth of the Hakata-ori tradition that has been passed down through generations in your daily life.

 In collaboration with Harada Textile Co., Ltd., a Hakata-ori textile manufacturer, we were able to receive the "Kyushu Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry Director's Award" at the Hakata-ori Gift Contest 2025.

 How about this for a special celebration or anniversary?


 "A bridge connecting you and me, a bond and connection, the present and the future."
