Good meals shouldn’t be rushed and good food tastes better when it’s savored. The chopstick rest is a resting place for your chopsticks in those moments of pause and conversation with friends and family. It’s a small piece that plays an important role in a leisurely evening.
White slip on red clay is called kohiki, and when fired with reduction, iron in the clay comes out, sometimers creates a spotted appearance.
Hanako makes each piece by hand, one by one. Slight variations in size, shape, color, and surface are inherent to the process. We hope you will embrace these small differences as characteristics that give each piece individuality and character, making them all the more lovable.
