Origen ORI-EN Slim Chopsticks

Introducing "Origen ORI-EN," born from the collaboration of artisans based in "Tsubame," a renowned metalworking region in Niigata Prefecture, and "Takaoka" in Toyama Prefecture. Traditionally, coloring techniques applied to materials like copper and brass posed a significant challenge when it came to coloring stainless steel. However, after numerous trials and experiments, a method for coloring stainless steel was developed—a feat only achievable through years of accumulated experience and expertise. (Utility Model Registered) This unique texture and coloring are artificially created by inducing the natural properties of metal—corrosion and rust—resulting in truly one-of-a-kind pieces. The distinctive technique, which brings forth a multitude of expressions through the artisans' hands and imagination, is exclusive to "Origen ORI-EN" and found nowhere else!
