This little chopstick rest is handcrafted by Sumitani Saburo Shoten, a family-run foundry established in 1939 in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture. Led by third-generation craftsman Masataka Sumitani, the foundry produces exceptional metalwork rooted in a 400-year tradition of smelting. They create timeless, minimalist pieces that honour Japanese craftsmanship and elevate everyday objects. The surface of each rest is hand-finished, with a gentle lustre of tin. The back surface has been intentionally roughened so that it does not slip on the table. Perfect, the end x
