The set combines two elegant colors—deep indigo and soft peach—each revealing layers of speckled patterns created through repeated lacquering, polishing, and finishing. Because the pattern forms naturally through this process, no two pieces are ever the same, making this pair truly one of a kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLacquerware has long been appreciated in Japan not only for its beauty and durability, but also for its \u003cstrong\u003enatural antibacterial properties\u003c\/strong\u003e, which have been scientifically recognized in recent years. This makes lacquered chopsticks especially suitable for everyday dining, offering both comfort and cleanliness with each use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe smooth, gently fitting texture of natural lacquer and the subtle shimmer that appears as the colors catch the light bring a sense of warmth and pleasure every time they are used. As a matching pair, these chopsticks make a thoughtful gift for couples or families, and a refined, heartfelt addition to any table setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--EndFragment --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!--EndFragment --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"431\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 324pt;\"\u003e\u003ccolgroup\u003e \u003ccol width=\"202\" style=\"mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 6464; width: 152pt;\"\u003e \u003ccol width=\"229\" style=\"mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 7317; width: 172pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"24\" style=\"height: 18.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"24\" class=\"xl67\" width=\"202\" style=\"height: 18.0pt; width: 152pt;\"\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl67\" width=\"229\" style=\"border-left: none; width: 172pt;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndigo : Length 235 mm (9.25 in)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePink : Length 205 mm (8.07 in)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"24\" style=\"height: 18.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"24\" class=\"xl67\" width=\"202\" style=\"height: 18.0pt; border-top: none; width: 152pt;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl67\" width=\"229\" style=\"border-top: none; border-left: none; width: 172pt;\"\u003eApprox. 10 g (Approx. 0.35 oz) each\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"24\" style=\"height: 18.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"24\" class=\"xl67\" width=\"202\" style=\"height: 18.0pt; border-top: none; width: 152pt;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl67\" width=\"229\" style=\"border-top: none; border-left: none; width: 172pt;\"\u003eNatural Wood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"24\" style=\"height: 18.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"24\" class=\"xl67\" width=\"202\" style=\"height: 18.0pt; border-top: none; width: 152pt;\"\u003eMicrowave\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl67\" width=\"229\" style=\"border-top: none; border-left: none; width: 172pt;\"\u003eNot microwave-safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"24\" style=\"height: 18.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"24\" class=\"xl67\" width=\"202\" style=\"height: 18.0pt; border-top: none; width: 152pt;\"\u003eDishwasher\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl67\" width=\"229\" style=\"border-top: none; border-left: none; width: 172pt;\"\u003eNot dishwasher-safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"24\" style=\"height: 18.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"24\" class=\"xl67\" width=\"202\" style=\"height: 18.0pt; border-top: none; width: 152pt;\"\u003eDirect Fire\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl67\" width=\"229\" style=\"border-top: none; border-left: none; width: 172pt;\"\u003eNot suitable for open flame\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"24\" style=\"height: 18.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"24\" class=\"xl67\" width=\"202\" style=\"height: 18.0pt; border-top: none; width: 152pt;\"\u003eOven\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl67\" width=\"229\" style=\"border-top: none; border-left: none; width: 172pt;\"\u003eNot oven-safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePrecautions for using lacquerware\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease handle lacquerware with care, as the surface can be delicate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen storing or using it together with other items, friction or accidental scratches may cause the lacquer coating to wear or peel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWash gently by hand, wipe dry with a soft cloth, and store in a place away from direct sunlight.\u003cbr\u003eThis will help preserve the lacquer surface for many years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDo not soak the item in water.
