We have created chopstick rests made of various materials that will blend in with your usual dining table while adding a new touch of colour.

Even if it is difficult to change your tableware with the seasons, chopstick rests can be easily incorporated and add variety. Why not enjoy combining small chopstick rests with your dining table? 

Each of the three types was made using a different glaze to create a different look. Even if the same clay is used, the clay, glaze, and the manufacturing method that leaves handprints behind make each one look different, which is what makes them so appealing.

The tatara moulding method is used to press the clay into the mould, giving them a warm appearance that makes you feel the handprints of the person. It is interesting that even chopstick rests of the same colour have different looks because they are made using rough clay that contains Shigaraki pebbles. 

We made them in geometric shapes rather than concrete motifs so that they can be easily combined with any dining table. We have made them with angular designs that make it easy to see the changes in the clay and glaze. We have made them with high ends and a concave centre so that the chopsticks can be placed stably without rolling.

Ceramic chopstick rests for enjoying dining table arrangements

We have created chopstick rests in various materials that will blend in with your everyday dining table while adding a new touch of color. It may be difficult to change your tableware for each season, but chopstick rests are a great way to add variety. Why not try mixing and matching your tableware with these small chopstick rests?

A simple look that makes use of Shigaraki soil

Each of the three types uses a different glaze to create a different look. Even if the same clay is used, the clay, glaze, and the manufacturing method that leaves handprints give each one a different look, which is what makes them so appealing. They are made by pressing the clay into a mold using the Tatara molding method, which gives them a warm appearance that makes you feel the handprints of the people. They use coarse clay that contains Shigaraki pebbles, so it is interesting that even chopstick rests of the same colour have different looks.

The shape of the chopsticks prevents them from rolling and allows them to be placed stably.

To make it easy to match with any dining table, we created it with a geometric shape rather than a concrete motif. The angular design allows the changes in the appearance of the clay and glaze to be easily seen. The shape is high on both ends and has a concave center so that chopsticks can be placed stably without rolling.

Easy to match with any dining table

The simple and rustic design goes well with patterned dishes and chopsticks. You can also coordinate it with plain chopsticks and simple dishes to create a calm impression. All three types have the same shape, so we recommend collecting them in different colours.
