High-quality tableware set

And if they are anyting like the Nousaku Tin Crafted Chopstick Rests, then this is true in every sense of the word: besides being functional as tableware, these are also real works of art.

The Nousaku Tin Crafted Chopstick Rests are actually two five-piece sets: the Moon and the Musubi designs. The former are crescent-shaped, while the latter ones are shaped like mizuhiki knots. Mizuhiki is a decorative cord made by twisted paper, frequently used in Japanese gift wrapping decorations. Made of 100% tin, these are unique creations by master Japanese craftsmen. Especially the rests in the Musubi set are so exquisite that you could even use them as fashion accessories!
