I am a set of Futaba Porcelain Chopstick Rests. You have done enough today, chopsticks. Now it’s time to rest.

Curator's Notes

Forms often found in Japanese motifs inspire these chopstick rests. The three shapes in this series, designed by Oji Masanori, include Tsurugi (sword), Omodaka (leaf) and Futaba (sprout). Chopsticks lay comfortably on the notches but they are also designed to act as small dishes that can hold ginger, wasabi, spices or soy sauce in personal portions. Each set includes two Omodaka chopstick rests.
