HANDMADE JAPANESE CHOPSTICK REST SET | GION SAKURA | TOUSENGAMA 陶泉窯
£58.00Celebrate the elegance of Kyoto's cherry blossom season with this Handmade Japanese Gion Sakura Chopstick Rest Set, expertly crafted by Tousen Kiln in Kyoto, Japan. Inspired by the graceful weeping cherry blossoms of Kyoto's historic Gion district, each handcrafted chopstick rest features delicate cascading sakura motifs on a soft ivory glaze, beautifully showcasing the refined artistry of authentic Kiyomizu Ware (Kyo-yaki).
Founded in the early Meiji era, Tousen Kiln began as a Kiyomizu ware wholesaler before establishing its own kiln to create handcrafted ceramics. Using the traditional clay and glazes of Kyoto's Kiyomizu ware, each piece reflects generations of Japanese ceramic craftsmanship while combining timeless elegance with everyday functionality.
Designed to keep chopsticks clean and neatly placed between courses, these ceramic chopstick rests add a refined finishing touch to both everyday meals and special occasions. Presented in a traditional wooden gift box decorated with matching Gion Sakura artwork, this five-piece set is ideal for entertaining guests or as a thoughtful gift for lovers of Japanese tableware.
Each chopstick rest is individually handcrafted and hand-finished, resulting in subtle variations in glaze, colour and hand-painted decoration that celebrate the authentic beauty of Japanese pottery.
