• Hashiya Ichizen, a chopstick shop located in Yufuin, Oita Prefecture, offers an experience plan where you can make your own original chopsticks. You will use a small knife to carve and finish the wood yourself. The experience takes approximately 1 to 2 hours.
• Use a small knife and sandpaper to shave it down.
• Once you have all the tools and materials, the craftsman will first explain how to carve and decorate the piece. You can do it using a small knife and sandpaper, just like sharpening a pencil, but for those who are not comfortable with a knife or for young children, we will teach you how to finish it using only sandpaper (even a 4-year-old enjoyed it).
• Take your time and do it carefully. The final touch is done with a wood-burning pen.
• The average time required is about 1.5 to 2 hours. Some people can finish in 30 to 40 minutes, while others have worked hard for 4 hours to complete it. Please enjoy the process and create it at your own pace. Once the shape is complete, you can use a wood-burning pen to add the date, your name, or any other text you like. After all the work is finished, a waterproof coating will be applied, so please wait about two weeks for it to arrive at your home.
