Wakasa lacquerware, which accounts for over 80% of Japan's lacquered chopsticks, is a traditional craft from Obama City, Fukui Prefecture, characterized by unique patterns such as eggshell, seashell, and raised patterns. It is said to have originated in the early Edo period when lacquerware craftsman Matsuura Sanjuro designed a chrysanthemum dust lacquerware on a lacquered tray presented by Obama's wealthy merchant Kumiya Rokuro Saemon to the feudal lord Sakai Tadakatsu.
