Hashiya Mansaku, a chopstick and rest brand by Wagokoro, unveils luxurious chopsticks embodying Japan's traditional beauty!

Under the vision of 'Bringing Japanese Culture to the World,' Wagokoro Co., Ltd. (Shibuya City, Tokyo; President & CEO: Tomohiro Mori; TSE Growth: 9271), which operates multiple retail outlets nationwide for Japanese accessories such as hairpins, wagasa (Japanese umbrellas), and patterned umbrellas, will begin sales of a new product, the 'Hakue-bashi (gold/silver painted chopsticks),' starting Friday, August 7, at its 'Hashiya Mansaku' stores and e-commerce site 'The Ichi (SAICHI).'

Introducing the luxurious 'Hakue-bashi (gold/silver painted chopsticks)' from Hashiya Mansaku.

These authentic chopsticks are meticulously handcrafted by master artisans of Wakasa-nuri, a traditional craft from Fukui Prefecture.

When placed side by side, the beautiful gold and silver lacquer patterns emerge into an elegant design reminiscent of classical Japanese folding screens.

Four auspicious Japanese motifs are available—'Takarabune (Treasure Ship)' and 'Noborigoi (Carp Ascending Waterfall)'—each offered in two sophisticated color variations: gold and silver.

With their vibrant texture evoking real gold and silver leaf, combined with delicate craftsmanship, these chopsticks are perfect not only for daily use but also as matching pairs.

They make a confident choice for celebratory gifts such as weddings or milestone birthdays, or as souvenirs for friends abroad.
