Ishida

Ishida has made chopsticks in Obama, Fukui, for over 80 years. Obama is the heart of Japanese Wakasa lacquerware, the region that makes over 80 per cent of Japan's lacquered chopsticks. The tradition goes back to the early Edo period, with patterns of mother-of-pearl and eggshell set into layer upon layer of lacquer. In our range you will find everything from classic patterns to child-friendly versions.
