Born from a collaboration between design studio nendo and Hashikura Matsukan, a lacquered chopstick manufacturer that has been producing chopsticks in Fukui Prefecture since 1922. The flower-shaped design of the chopsticks was formed around the idea of enabling a comfortable grip for the user by introducing pleated ridges. Skillfully carved by local woodworkers, the cross-section of the ridges forms a flower at the base of the chopsticks, which are then lacquered to produce a long-lasting, smooth finish.
As the title suggests, when many sets are placed together in a cutlery stand, a hanataba (bouquet) appears.
Available in red and black.

Handwash only.
