Noir Chopsticks Holder

Ryuji Mitani

• Introduction

  I am a Noir Chopsticks Holder. When chopsticks need a sanctuary to rest until their moment of glory arrives, I'm the utilitarian hero, ready to come alive.

   

• Curator's Notes 

   

  This black carved wooden case, lovingly urushi lacquered with Mitani's signature Noir style and adorned with chiseled facets that beg to be touched, is an everyday essential with an artisanal touch. It's more than just a box; it's a go-to spot for chopsticks, always there when you need to grab a pair for a meal. Whether you prefer black or natural wood chopsticks, it's the perfect complement, adding the charm of the Seikatsu Kougei philosophy to your table. With Mitani's craftsmanship, even the simplest utensils become a thing of beauty, enhancing your dining experience with every use.
