【 Hightest Grade】Exellent Traditional Edo Wooden Chopsticks Rikyu Coromandel Ebony Heptagon JapanDescriptionBlue-black ebony septagonal long chopsticks (25cm)

Regarding blue-black ebony, it is one of the recommended woods among the chopsticks of Daikokuya, known as the highest grade of ebony. Just by polishing it, it emits a beautiful luster, and it has the perfect balance of hardness and stickiness, making it one of the best woods to use for chopsticks. It is said that those who are connoisseurs of chopsticks eventually come to appreciate this blue-black ebony. Additionally, blue-black ebony is one of the most difficult to obtain rare woods.

As for the craftsmanship, the wood has very few splinters, giving it a unique feeling when held, and a texture that cannot be found in other materials. Blue-black ebony does not turn white only at the tip of the chopsticks with age, but remains beautiful throughout its use, making it a wood that grows more cherished the more it is used. The wood itself is hard and has a high oil content, making it difficult to finish when using fine sandpaper with fine pores.

Furthermore, there are many small cracks in the wood, and in the end, only about 40% of it can be used for chopsticks, making it a challenging wood for craftsmen. However, we hope customers will enjoy the carefully selected blue-black ebony chopsticks.

Regarding the septagonal long chopsticks, if we were to describe them in one word, it would be \"beautiful chopsticks.\" Not only are they made in a beautiful septagonal shape, but the holding part has a moderate bulge, which further enhances their beauty. It is said that the thin ends of the chopsticks were inspired by Sen no Rikyū, who served his guests by thinly shaving both ends of the chopsticks on the morning of the day of the event to enjoy the scent of the wood. These specific thin, septagonal ends are unique to these chopsticks.

In addition to being septagonal, shaping them into a streamlined form is quite challenging, making these chopsticks the most difficult to make at Daikokuya. When actually holding them, the balance of weight is good, making them easy to hold, and the septagonal shape fitting between the thumb and forefinger enhances the comfortable grip of the chopsticks.

It is a mysterious feeling that holding these chopsticks makes one\'s hands look beautiful, making one want to eat with better posture. Easy to hold, easy to eat with, and beautiful - these septagonal long chopsticks represent Daikokuya. The most beautiful shape that highlights the highest grade wood, blue-black ebony, is found in the septagonal long chopsticks. Gift box and wrapping are not included.
