Japan Rijinda Yoshino Cedar Chopsticks: 2-Pair Set

Carved from thinned Yoshino Sugi (Japanese cedar) sourced from the mountains of Yoshino, these chopsticks are offered as a two-pair set. The wood—harvested through kanbatsu, a responsible thinning practice—yields a smooth surface, a light cedar fragrance, and a warm, tactile weight in the hand. Each pair shows the natural grain and color particular to Yoshino cedar. Using timber from thinning helps maintain forest health and biodiversity; the material and method are integral to the object’s character and utility.
