Boxed Carp-Pattern Wooden Chopsticks — 5 Pairs

Five matching wooden chopstick pairs bring a turquoise carp scene to the table in this boxed set. Red-and-white fish with black markings curve through pale wave lines, spirals and small blossoms along the upper handles. Natural brown ends and lower shafts frame the illustrated bands, connecting the bright pattern with the plain sections of each utensil.

Lay out a pair beside each rice bowl, noodle dish or main plate for foods eaten with chopsticks. Blue-patterned bowls repeat the water-like background, while white dishes pick up the pale fish and flower details. A wrapped carp pack offers another presentation of the design, and bird, cat or floral sets introduce different illustrations within the same five-pair format. Individual rests provide a place for the utensils during pauses in the meal. Add small sauce dishes when a separate dip is served, and hand wash the wooden chopsticks after use.
