Discover the joy of traditional craftsmanship by making your very own pair of chopsticks. Choose from a variety of beautiful types of wood, each with its own color, grain, and character to find the perfect one to match your taste.
Place your chopsticks on the stand and use a hand plane to carefully carve them into shape. After carving, smooth the surface and edges with sandpaper to bring out the natural beauty and comfort of your chopsticks. Finally, apply a coat of natural oil to protect and enhance the finish, giving them a soft, polished look. As an optional touch, you can have your name engraved in Japanese making your chopsticks truly one-of-a-kind.
Come and make something memorable, a piece of Japan you’ll treasure forever.
