Tsugaru Vidro is a glassmaking tradition born in the cold, snowy region of Aomori, Japan, where artisans have spent generations perfecting techniques that capture the subtle beauty of the natural world around them. This chopsticks and chopstick rest set draws its inspiration from Aomori's most iconic fruit, the apple, rendered in two distinct hues through the time-honored art of Wakasa lacquerware. Whether you are setting a thoughtful table or looking for a meaningful gift, this set brings together the craft heritage of two celebrated Japanese traditions in one elegantly coordinated pair.

From Tsugaru Vidro to Recognized Traditional Craft
Founded in 1949, Hokuyo Glass rose to become Japan's top producer of glass fishing floats by the 1970s. From that heritage of craftsmanship, "Tsugaru Vidro" was born — glassware celebrated for its stunning color palette and exceptional quality, now officially recognized as a traditional craft of Aomori Prefecture. Today, the studio continues to create a wide range of pieces using over 100 colors of glass, capturing the shifting hues of Japan's four seasons.

Inspired by Aomori's Beloved Apples! A Matching Chopsticks & Rest Pair Set

Two Sizes & Colors of Chopsticks, All in One Set
The chopsticks come in two different sizes, making them a perfect gift for couples — or simply to share with someone special at home. The chopstick rests are a comfortable, practical size as well.

Two apple hues brought to life through traditional Wakasa lacquerware
Wakasa lacquerware, crafted in Obama City, Fukui Prefecture, is renowned for its stunning evocation of the ocean floor. That same intricate technique is used on these chopsticks, resulting in a beautiful finish reminiscent of blue and red apples.

Thoughtful details for everyday ease
The octagonal grip provides a secure, non-slip hold, while the gently tapered tips make it easy to pick up even the smallest bites. Every detail — not just the look, but the feel — has been carefully considered.

Colored glass rests that echo the apple theme
The glass chopstick rests feature a charming teardrop shape that immediately catches the eye. With colors and contours reminiscent of apple blossoms and fruit, they bring a quiet yet captivating presence to the table — and a little joy to everyone who uses them.

A gentle groove keeps your chopsticks right in place
Adorable from every angle!
A curved indentation in the center of each rest keeps chopsticks from rolling, making them easy to set down. The translucent glass looks just as lovely from the side — its shape and color brightening any table setting.

A clean design that works with any table setting
The chopsticks and rests are beautifully coordinated in color, bringing a cohesive elegance to the table. Their clean, understated design pairs equally well with Japanese and Western-style dining.

Each item comes with a leaflet introducing the brand's story and care instructions, complete with photos and English text — so the beauty and craftsmanship speak for themselves, no matter who receives it.
