Ishida Chopsticks Natural Wood, Approx. 8.1 inches (20.5 cm)

These are lovely! I will admit, I am a grown woman and I bought these for myself. I can already use chopsticks but I don't use them "correctly". Lol There is no need, but I like doing things the right way.As for the items themselves, they are lovely; 20.5 cm long. Not sure what gives them their beautiful dark color, whether it's a dark wood or a lacquer, but I love the color. Looks dark/reddish like cherry.They are marked in red (stands out so you can feel the ridges) at the points listed in the instructions, which also have curves so you can feel when you are holding them properly (Thank God there is a diagram, as all instructions are in Japanese.In the hand, they feel lightweight but substantial. They are very stylish and will look cute with my chopstick "collection" on display in my kitchen. Worth every penny!

I use these in my hair - (sorry if it offends!) They are 1 inch shorter than most chopsticks (Pier I or Cost Plus), so are a better look. They are very attractive and have a sculpted shaft which is interesting. Sharp point so they slide easily into a bun.
