Wakasa Chopstick Museum

A Museum of the Elegant, Timeless Beauty of Lacquerware Chopsticks

The Wakasa Chopstick Museum has over 3,000 kinds of Wakasa lacquerware chopsticks on display for sale, made using unique local lacquering techniques.

Visitors can make their own chopsticks with traditional Wakasa-style decorations, by grinding away many thin layers of materials like colored lacquer, eggshell, and seashell to reveal colorful patterns reminiscent of the sea floor.
