Sunlife Washi Kanbai Japanese Lacquerware Chopsticks - 22.5cm
The Sunlife Washi Kanbai Lacquerware Chopsticks draw on a beloved motif of Japanese culture — the plum blossom (kanbai), a symbol of resilience and quiet elegance. Delicate floral patterns, applied using traditional Japanese washi paper techniques, are layered beneath a smooth acrylic lacquer finish, creating depth and understated beauty in each pair.
At 22.5cm, the chopsticks are balanced and comfortable for everyday use, while their considered design and quality finish make them an equally fine choice for gifting.
