Longevity and resistance - two ideal features of chestnut for making unique handicraftsThere are four leading and well-known chestnut species: American, European, Chinese, and Japanese chestnut. It is known that the American Chestnut tree reaches a height of thirty meters and spreads up to three meters in diameter. Chinese chestnut is resistant to bark diseases, and its root system is stronger and more resistant than any other variety of chestnut. European chestnut is often called sweet chestnut, and its small nuts are used as livestock feed or ground into flour. Japanese chestnut trees often appear in myths and legends of Japanese folklore, while nowadays, Japanese chestnut is still a favorite because of its nutty taste and both salty and sweet applications. What makes chestnut unique is the fact that it is one of the most beautiful types of wood for producing long-lasting, handmade furniture and other household accessories. Due to its resistance to decay, it is widely used for anything destined to last, such as posts, poles, peeling, railroad ties, split rail fences, log cabins, barns, etc. If you opt for our Handmade Japanese natural chestnut wood chopsticks, you will get a product that is long-lasting, high-quality, unique, and purposeful.Distinctiveness of Japanese chopsticksFor many years, chopsticks have been popular eating tools in China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. In this part of the world, chopsticks are made of bamboo, wood, and plastic. Our Handmade Japanese natural chestnut wood chopsticks differ most from their twins from neighboring countries in that they are shorter and taper down to a pointed end. These tapered ends of chopsticks create a narrow point to easily pick up fish bones, scales, and other small things found in Asian food. Because of that, Japanese chopsticks probably have a little more precision, and when you master their use, it will be easier for you to pick up smaller items. Similarly, it may be easier for you to learn how to eat rice using the Handmade Japanese natural chestnut wood chopsticks.Diversity and uniqueness of Japanese cultureJapan is known for its various particular customs and lifestyles, and Japanese culture is so unique that it can be easily recognized. Japanese architecture, clothing, and food are just some examples, as well as our Handmade Japanese natural chestnut wood chopsticks.
