Cutlery Rest

From Heian-era court banquets to today’s Michelin-starred ryōtei, Japan’s finest tables have always featured the chopstick — or cutlery — rest. It isn’t décor alone; it’s a gesture of respect that keeps utensils pristine between courses. Our glass-and-kimono rest continues that 1,000-year tradition while welcoming Western flatware to the ritual.

Invite the elegance of Kyoto-style kaiseki—Japan’s refined multi-course dining—to every course. Encased in crystal-clear, kiln-fused glass, each rest suspends a fragment of vintage kimono silk or hand-dyed washi paper, turning heritage textiles into functional art. Long enough for Western flatware yet slim enough for chopsticks, it’s the one piece that unifies East-meets-West tables across your country.
