This set of five pairs of octagonal chopsticks comes from Kawai in Obama in Fukui, who have been making chopsticks since 1943. At Kawai the set goes by the name ""perfect for guests"", and that's pretty much what it is. The eight sides keep the chopsticks steady in the hand and stop them rolling off the table.
Five pairs in natural colour, 22.5 cm long.
