Fortune Chopstick Rests – Set of 5 Mizuhiki【Free Shipping】

A Set of Five Charming Chopstick Rests Inspired by Traditional Mizuhiki Knots
This stylish and adorable set captures the spirit of celebration with beautifully crafted mizuhiki—traditional Japanese decorative knots—each designed in the elegant musubi-kiri (tight knot) style, symbolizing finality and lasting bonds. It's a perfect gift to mark joyous occasions or to express heartfelt congratulations and well-wishes.

The name "Kotohogi" refers to the act of celebrating happy events and conveying blessings through words—making this set a meaningful present for weddings, anniversaries, housewarmings, or other special moments.

Each piece showcases the fine wrinkles and texture of Kanazawa gold leaf, allowing you to fully appreciate its beauty. Layered with translucent ink patterns on top of the gold, the design creates a refined harmony between tradition and modern aesthetics.

When arranged side by side, the five chopstick rests form a continuous mizuhiki design—an element of surprise and delight in both form and symbolism.
