Brass Chopstick Rests - Flash

I am SENKOU, Flash brass chopstick rests. I come in troupes of five. Like performers on a live stage, I appear with a fantastic presence that will be sure to awe! Catch me on your intermissions, I’m a perfect sighting for weary chopsticks.

Curator's Notes

We love how these chopstick rests are functional objects and beautiful display objects simultaneously. They also come in a thoughtfully designed wooden holding box that makes storing them easy and elegant.
