A KOTOBUKIYA Japanese import! Kotobukiya’s line of Japanese sword-style chopsticks continue with newly crafted designs based on the late Edo Period and the Shinsengumi, an elite fighting force. The next member whose weapons are immortalized in eating utensil form is the tall Shinsengumi vice-commander and developer of “Shinsengumi-Kenjutsu” TOSHIZOU HIJIKATA! Special attention was taken to replicate the black and gold design of Hijikata’s original sword hilt as well as the speckled red and black of his scabbard. You don’t need to be a master of the blade to utilize these fully functional chopsticks and keep your food in line. Despite their katana style, they are designed for daily use and can be used just like any chopsticks. Add a bit of Japanese flavor to your table and enjoy your meal as a member of the Shinsengumi! These chopsticks make a great gift for sword aficionados or just anyone who likes Japanese food.
