Renowned for its durability, the chopsticks are crafted through a labor-intensive process involving repeated cycles of painting and polishing, comprising approximately 50 steps. This painstaking process has earned it the nickname “Baka-nuri” (foolish lacquer), highlighting the extraordinary effort involved. The phrase \"robust and practical\" perfectly captures the essence of these chopsticks. Beyond their strength, Tsugaru lacquerware boasts a variety of decorative techniques, including Karakuri-nuri, Nanako-nuri, Monsha-nuri, and Nishiki-nuri, showcasing its diverse artistic expressions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ginza Natsuno","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49974933455041,"sku":"100-TGSM-01-SET","price":19500.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/6689\/3249\/files\/1000034883_fa20b1d8-8e3d-4dcf-823d-0eeab1c91f21.jpg?v=1770857234","url":"https:\/\/0admmc-kx.myshopify.com\/products\/tsugaru-nuri-octagonal-lacquered-pair-chopsticks","provider":"BokanDemo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
