Nousaku Cat Chopstick Rests

Just by what you see on a walk around any Tokyo residential area, you might think that the only pet the Japanese care about is dogs. But even a superficial look at the culture reminds you that cats have been a big part of people's life in Japan for centuries and now, with the Nousaku Cat Chopstick Rests, you can make them part of your life too! You only need to choose how many cats you want in your life because there are three options: for two, three, or five!

All the felines in the Nousaku Cat Chopstick Rests are made in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture, famous for its metal artisans. A glance at the elegant design and at how perfectly the pieces fit together when they rest in their traditional paulownia wood box tells you that these are very fine pieces of craftsmanship that make every meal special for you, your family, or friends. When not using them as chopstick rests, you can bend them a little (they are made of 100% tin, which is quite soft) and use them as stands for incense too!
