Ukiyo-e Cat Chopsticks - Cat & Goldfish

Playfully illustrated in an ukiyo-e style, these charming chopsticks feature a whimsical cat motif that feels both nostalgic and lighthearted. Their distinctive design makes them a delightful table accent—and a thoughtful gift for cat lovers and art enthusiasts alike.

In Japan’s late Edo period, cats inspired a cultural boom, appearing frequently in ukiyo-e prints and popular art. These chopsticks nod to that timeless fascination, reminding us that the appeal of cats transcends eras. Crafted from natural wood in Obama City, Fukui Prefecture—an area renowned for chopstick-making—each pair is made in Japan with care and tradition in mind.

The tips are finished with a non-slip coating for comfortable, everyday use. Please note: As natural wood is used, wood grain and coloration will vary from piece to piece. Each pair is hand-painted, so slight variations, soft blurring, or gentle misalignment may occur. These subtle differences are part of their handmade character.
