🥢 History

Wakasa-nuri developed in Obama, in present-day Fukui Prefecture. Government accounts connect its early development with imported Chinese lacquerware and decorative patterns evoking the seabed. Its characteristic togidashi technique builds successive layers of lacquer over patterned materials, including shells, then grinds and polishes the surface to reveal the decoration beneath. From the Meiji period onward, lacquered chopsticks became the craft’s principal production focus. On February 6, 1978, Wakasa-nuri was designated a Traditional Craft by Japan’s Minister of International Trade and Industry, marking national recognition of this regional lacquerware tradition.

The product master identifies these Japanese-made chopsticks as Wakasa-nuri. This pair features a floral design and an acrylic urethane coating over natural wood.
