Made in Kyoto, using the traditional craft of Tankin, these chopstick rests are hand-hammered from either a solid brass or solid aluminium ingot and shaped into cuboid blocks. With time, the former (brass) will begin to develop its own unique rich patina, making each rest personal to its owner, whilst the aluminium rest will retain its original colour.  

Dimensions: 4.2 x 0.9 x H0.9 cm (Sold as One)

Material: Brass or Aluminium

Place of Origin: Kyoto, Japan

Instruction for Care: Hand-wash with warm soapy water only. The colour will get darker and develop a rich patina over time. Brass and copper products are subject to rust when in contact with acidic foods. Mix salt and vinegar in equal parts, wet cloth with solution and apply directly onto rust to remove it.
