Hyozaemon Wakasa Lacquer First Chopsticks - Black This gift set includes one pair of chopsticks and one chopstick rest, which are the first chopsticks a baby will put in their mouth after birth, in a paulownia wood box.

For my dearest one...your first pair of chopsticks. In the West, it is said that babies born with a silver spoon in their mouth will be happy, but in Japan, a ceremony called "Okuizome" is held approximately 100 days after birth. This is a ceremony to celebrate the baby's growth since birth and to pray for healthy growth in the future. It is at this time that chopsticks are put into the baby's mouth for the first time. You want to use high-quality chopsticks that are safe and reliable. Additionally, the sea bream chopstick rest has been popular in Japan as a lucky fish, due in part to its pun on the word "omedetai" (celebration). This set is called "Uibashi" and includes traditional Wakasa lacquer chopsticks and a chopstick rest. They are painted with natural lacquer. This set is perfect for the first meal, 100th day celebration, or baby gift. The wrapping paper for the paulownia box is decorated with a peach crest. As the legend goes, peaches have been a symbol of longevity and exorcism since ancient times, as in the legend of Izanagi-no-Mikoto throwing peach fruit to drive away evil spirits. The paulownia box will be wrapped in wrapping paper before delivery.
