Each pair is finished with genuine Urushi lacquer, an all-natural coating valued for its antibacterial and oil-repellent attributes. Their smooth surface allows for easy cleaning—simply wipe with a damp cloth or sponge gently to maintain their allure and integrity over time. The Urushi finish gives a subtle gloss that enhances the elegant design, creating a visual delight.
Presented in a beautifully crafted paulownia wood box, this set serves not only as a thoughtful gift but also as a keepsake. After unboxing, the box can be repurposed to store letters, accessories, or cherished mementos—transforming utility into beauty, embodying the spirit of Japanese craftsmanship.
