Japanese Lacquer Chopsticks – Wakasanuri Rabbit Couple Gift Set
Elegance, whimsy, and centuries of craft — united in a single gift. The KAWAI Usagi Chirashi (兆うさぎ散らし — Scattered Rabbits) Chopstick Pair Set celebrates the art of Wakasanuri lacquerware with a playful rabbit and cherry blossom motif, presented as a husband-and-wife pairing in a beautiful kiri wood box.
Wakasanuri Lacquer Craftsmanship
Each chopstick is hand-lacquered in the traditional Wakasanuri style — one of Japan’s most celebrated lacquerware traditions — and adorned with raden (路鯞) mother-of-pearl detailing. Delicate silhouettes of rabbits gazing upward beneath trailing cherry blossoms are rendered in radiant gold over a sparkling lacquered base in red and navy.
