Chopsticks Rests

In Japan, even the smallest details at the table are approached with care—and chopstick rests, or hashioki（箸置き）, are no exception. Far more than practical tableware, they embody omotenashi（おもてなし）—the spirit of wholehearted hospitality—and reflect the Japanese reverence for food, harmony, and seasonal beauty.

Each chopstick rest is a miniature expression of craftsmanship, hand-shaped by artisans in regions like Gifu and Seto, and often inspired by nature, folklore, or everyday charm. From elegant simplicity to playful design, these rests elevate the dining experience—keeping chopsticks clean, honoring tradition, and adding personality to the table.

At My Japanese World, we proudly curate authentic, handmade, crafted in Japan chopsticks rests. Whether for your home, a gift, or a special occasion, these small yet meaningful objects invite you to slow down, savor the moment, and connect with centuries of artistry.
