Chopstick rest 'Four Moon' | Futagami

Hashioki, or chopstick rests, are a must-have for any Japanese table setting. The "Four Moon" set of four stands out with its simple design. With its unpolished surface, it creates a beautiful blend of industrial charm and simple elegance. The rests are easy to combine and will enhance any table.

Like all Futagami brass products, these pieces will also develop a beautiful patina over time through oxidation and will darken. The objects are manufactured using the sand-casting method, which leaves the surface rough and makes each piece slightly different from the others.

Masanori Oji, a designer and architect born in Hiroshima, creates timeless objects for everyday life using traditional Japanese craftsmanship.

The brass foundry Futagami was founded in 1897 in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture. In Japan, brass was primarily used for metal fittings in furniture making, architecture, shipbuilding, as well as in handicrafts or for Buddhist altar furnishings.
