Things you should know before purchasing
Because it is a natural material, each material has its own unique expression, and the longer you use it, the more its flavor will increase. What creates the appearance of chopsticks are spots, scratches, and color shading that are not found in mass-produced products. The charm of handmade chopsticks is that each one is slightly different in color, size, and shape, and no two are exactly the same. Please enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter as these are the unique characteristics of handmade products. 【Individual difference】 
Because it is handmade, there are individual differences in size, shape, and texture. [Lacquered/Pattern]
