Repair / repaint

Repainting lacquer

Hyozaemon chopsticks can be repainted with lacquer.
That is because we use "lacquer that does not contain synthetic paint".
If you continue to use the bald chopsticks,
It will damage the bare wood itself.
In order to use chopsticks with a lot of attachment for a long time
We recommend repainting the lacquer.
