These charming chopstick rests brighten your tableware collection with their cheerful plum-blossom flower shape and red vibrant colors. Besides serving to keep your guests' chopsticks resting carefully in the space between the flower's petals, the plum blossom imparts a rich cultural significance, too. Japanese folklore ties plum blossoms to a symbol of resilience and perseverance, the hardy blossoms harkening the arrival of spring and the defiance of winter's challenges.

Chopstick Rest

When setting the table for a Japanese meal, chopstick rests (hashioki) are a must-have item. These rests are essential for hygiene so the chopsticks don’t touch the table. They are also a wonderful way to add whimsy, charm, and a personal touch to your table setting. With so many themes and designs to choose, chopstick rests are quite popular to collect. It's fun to switch them up for different seasons, menus, and occasions.

Mino Ware

Mino ware refers to pottery traditionally made in Japan’s eastern Gifu Prefecture, primarily in Tajimi, Toki, Mizunami, and Kani. This ancient method of producing elegant, durable ceramics has roots going back over 1300 years to Japan’s Kofun period in the 7th century. Typically found nested into the mountainsides, the unique kilns used to produce Mino ware are often referred to as anagama kilns, and the master artisans producing these stunning products continue to adhere to rigid standards to produce only the highest quality ceramics.
