Arita ware Japanese Culture Single Chopstick Rest - Hagoita

The chopstick rests are made by a kiln in Japan that specialises in Arita yaki since 1865. 

Presenting our auspicious individual chopstick rest adorned with the fortunate arrow feather motif. This pattern has been used in Japan since ancient times, symbolizing the warding off of evil spirits and the concept of arrows flying straight ahead. It is considered a design that brings good luck. With its charming feather-shaped design, it is perfect for celebratory occasions and family festivities. 

In the conversation with Mr Tokunaga, the 5th generation of Kouraku Kiln, we can immensely feel the dedication and sophistication behind the craft. 

Arta porcelain is made from ceramic stone, moulded, glazed and baked at a high temperature of 1300 degrees for more than 17 hours. 

As Aritayaki is popular among restaurants all over the world, they are light, hard and durable. 

As every piece has its handmade features, slight irregularities in size, glaze, colour, and texture might occur and reflect the nature of the artisan product.
