In Japan, gifting chopsticks to newlyweds is a longstanding traditional blessing that symbolizes sharing a wonderful life together. The word for "chopsticks" in Japanese sounds like the word for "bridge," representing the couple crossing the bridge of life together towards happiness. Additionally, chopsticks must come in pairs, symbolizing the unbreakable bond between husband and wife, staying together until old age.
Wakasa lacquer couple chopsticks, with their unique traditional craftsmanship and beautiful symbolism, have become ideal gifts for significant occasions in Japan, such as weddings, golden anniversaries, and silver anniversaries.
