Touga Aizome Indigo Dyed Fortune Japanese Chopstick Rest Set

Aizome Indigo Dyed Fortune Japanese Chopstick Rest Set

This set consists of four chopstick rests, each featuring a unique design that draws inspiration from classic Japanese motifs.

The collection includes circular rests with patterns that range from the iconic Japanese wave to a stylised representation of a Maneki-neko, commonly known as the beckoning cat, a symbol of good fortune.

Another rest showcases a harmonious floral pattern, while the last piece features an abstract, ink-like splash design, reminiscent of Sumi-e painting strokes. Each rest is crafted with a smooth, flat surface, ensuring your chopsticks rest securely.

The deep indigo hue, known as Aizome, not only adds a vibrant splash of colour but also holds cultural significance, being one of the oldest dyeing techniques in Japan.

The set is neatly presented in a navy blue box with gold Japanese script, making it an ideal gift. 

What is Minoware?

Mino ware (Mino yaki) is a type of pottery in which many colors and designs have been created to suit the times and people’s different tastes. As a result, Mino ware uses a variety of techniques and has diverse looks and textures.

Mino ware is made from the soil of Gifu Prefecture, known as Japan’s largest producer of pottery, and the pieces easily blend into daily life.
