Arita Ware Premium Daruma Chopstick Rest / 福だるま 箸置き

Daruma is a mascot that Japanese people have loved since ancient times.

It is characterized by a circular shape, a shape that can stand up even if it falls. So it is considered a mascot that "can get up several times even if it fails."

In Japan, Daruma dolls are a popular gift of encouragement as it is seen as a symbol of perseverance and good luck.

This chopstick rest is made by Arita ware, which is one of the most high-quality ceramic traditions in Japan.

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 Arita ware 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.
