Awasaka Tenuchi Tonbo-dama Japanese Chopsticks - 23cm - Brush Blue
Finished in glossy black lacquer, these 'Tenuchi' (hand-finished) style chopsticks feature a charming blue dotted pattern on a white band, inspired by 'tonbo-dama' (dragonfly beads) — the traditional Japanese glass art beads. The band is finished with a gentle, rounded swell, echoing the shape of a glass bead threaded onto the chopstick.
At 23cm in length, they are a standard size suitable for a variety of dining styles, with textured tips for improved grip.
