KAWAI was founded in 1943 as a chopsticks manufacturer in Obama City, Fukui prefecture, a region with a 400 year old history of making lacquer coated chopsticks. The lacquerware known as "wakasa nuri" is very time consuming, and comprises 18 steps, traditionally performed by one craftsperson. KAWAI builds on this tradition to offer chopsticks in traditional and modern styles and to enhance the reputation of chopsticks from Obama region.
