Chopsticks Patterned with Cherry Blossom Petals ★FREE SHIPPING

In old Japan, it was believed that used chopsticks contained the spirit of the person using them. It was thought that the chopsticks became that person’s alter ego, and thus were a connection to the divine. Therefore, instead of sharing chopsticks, each person usually owns their own dedicated pair at home. They are not even shared between husband and wife, or parent and child! Someone else’s chopsticks are never used at home, and we still keep practicing this custom at many of Japanese home today.
Why don’t you purchase your own pair of chopsticks and make your meals a little more personal and special. You can also add a pop of color!
