Japanese oval HANA chopstick rest

An oval Japanese chopstick rest, delicately designed, features a traditional Japanese motif inspired by natural elements and cultural symbols of the country. The chopstick rest is often adorned with patterns such as cherry blossoms (sakura), stylized waves (seigaiha), or majestic cranes, symbols of longevity and good fortune. Made from ceramic or lacquered wood, its smooth and glossy surface reflects Japanese craftsmanship, adding an elegant touch to the table. This small accessory, both practical and aesthetic, allows for the gentle placement of chopsticks between dishes, keeping them clean.
