We will take it once and perform coating processing at our factory. The finished chopsticks will be shipped at a later date (about 40 days later).
The bare wood is a broken bat that is friendly to the global environment.
In the baseball world, including professional baseball, 100,000 wooden bats are consumed annually. The ash tree, which is the best material for bats, grows slowly and it is difficult to supply good quality wooden bats for a long period of time, so protection and cultivation is an issue. At Hyozaemon, we collect bats that are broken and can no longer be used (about 10,000 bats a year), develop and sell unique products such as chopsticks, and use the profits to plant trees at the NPO Aodamo Resource Development Association. We support activities. The chopsticks made in this chopsticks education class are also made of broken bat material. My chopsticks made by children may have been the bats used by my favorite professional baseball players. We will continue our activities so that we can contribute to resource conservation and pre-environmental conservation through the reuse of bats.

Lacquer has a beautiful luster, is waterproof and antiseptic, and is a very excellent adhesive and coating agent that wraps wood. In the chopsticks education class, you can freely draw your favorite pattern on the handle with a marker pen etc., but at Hyozaemon, "Chopsticks, which are tools that you can put directly in your mouth, are especially safe and secure. From the idea that "materials should be used", the motto is "Chopsticks are food", and we decided to use only natural lacquer that does not contain harmful ingredients to the human body to make chopsticks. doing. Please feel free to use my chopsticks made in the chopsticks education class.
