Description

Craft Your Own Chopsticks from Raw Wood Begin with simple wooden blanks and transform them into beautiful, functional chopsticks using a traditional kanna (Japanese hand plane). Feel the grain of the wood as you carefully shape each piece, and enjoy a calming, hands-on Japanese craftsmanship experience. Guided, Beginner-Friendly Workshop From rough shaping to a smooth, polished finish, every step is taught clearly and patiently by our instructor. This fully hands-on experience is designed for first-timers—no woodworking experience required. Select from Beautiful Japanese Woods Choose from a curated selection of Japanese woods, each with its own texture, aroma, and natural color. Two wood types are included at no extra cost, with premium woods available as an optional upgrade for those seeking something extra special.
