Even though it is tiny, its presence on your table is a statement of personal style, and is powerful. It can also reflect on the style of meal you’ve chosen to serve.Chopstick rests can be selected carefully to reflect dishes, seasons, special occasions, or even just a mood.
This chopstick rest is made by Kazuji Sato, a potter in Tajimi, Gifu. Let’s take a quick look at his stunning work.
Here we see a camellia flower complete with Shino and Iron glazes that convey a warm touch and strong presence. What I really like about camellia is it is written 椿 in kanji which is composed of 木(tree) and 春(spring); how endearing! It is a tree blooming in anticipation of the arrival of spring during the coldest time of winter! In this way, the camellia is considered a symbol of perseverance, vitality, and good luck. This chopstick rest really brings warmth to your table, just like when spring is coming. It’s a beautiful reminder to have hope even when things seem dark and cold.
As other pieces by Mr.Sato, this piece has a warm and comforting vibe; not over the top or gaudy. You will see how they add peace and a sense of calm as they compliment and work beautifully with the rest of your tableware.
