Chopstick Rest - Tsukimi Red

Chopstick rests (Hashioki) are used in Japanese dining to place chopsticks when they are not in use. Their purpose is to keep the tips of the chopsticks from touching the table to ensure hygiene and cleanliness. Using a chopstick rest shows respect for the dining setting and those around you.

Fun fact: Tsukimi (moon viewing) is a traditional festival dedicated to appreciating the autumn moon in September. In Japanese folklore, rabbits are believed to live on the moon as people see the rabbit on the moon's surface rather than the man figure seen in Western cultures. A rabbit on the moon symbolizes autumn harvest celebrations and abundance.

This particular chopstick rest is perfect for daily use or as a gift to someone who loves Japan or whose birthday is in the fall!
