Product description
The name is "Edokibashi".
What is Edokibashi?
“Edokibashi” (江戸木箸) are traditional handcrafted wooden chopsticks made by Daikokuya in Tokyo, Japan.
Daikokuya’s workshop is located in Sumida City, an area deeply connected to Edo culture and craftsmanship.
The word “Edo” refers to the former name of Tokyo, while “Kibashi” means wooden chopsticks in Japanese. Combining these words, the founder created the name “Edokibashi” to honor the tradition of handcrafted chopsticks made in Edo.
How are Edokibashi made?
Edokibashi are handcrafted by skilled artisans in Tokyo. Using traditional techniques, the wood is carefully shaped with a high-speed rotating file. Creating the thin and delicate chopstick tips requires precision, experience, and craftsmanship.
Edokibashi craftsman
Tokuhito Marukawa is the president of Daikokuya and an Edokibashi craftsman with over 25 years of experience. He carefully handles every process himself, from shaping the chopsticks to applying the lacquer. The unique heptagonal chopsticks were also created by his craftsmanship.
Edokibashi shop
The Daikokuya shop offers more than 200 varieties of chopsticks. Customers visit from all over Japan as well as from overseas to experience traditional Edokibashi craftsmanship.
The workshop
Edokibashi craftsmen produce more than 24,000 pairs of chopsticks each year using traditional techniques. Currently, three skilled craftsmen carefully handcraft Edokibashi in the workshop.
We carefully handcraft each pair of Edokibashi every day so that you can enjoy your meals with truly exceptional chopsticks.
