Zogan, the traditional decoration technique
Zogan is an old, traditional technique used to decorate products made of wood. It is similar to the inlay technique used in well-known Italian decoration. For zogan decoration, the motifs are first carved out of the wood surface and then laid out with pieces of wood or shell. This fine and highly precise work is known mainly from Iwate Prefecture and is an art practiced mostly by women. Kai-Zogan, the technique when only shell pieces are used as inlay, requires not only a steady hand but also a trained eye. The highest quality can be recognized by the fact that the layers of mother-of-pearl not only fit perfectly, but their structure also creates an extremely harmonious, beautiful picture. When a decoration with wood inlays is implemented, it is called moku-zogan. This is no less demanding, only craftsmen with the highest sensitivity manage to combine the different types of wood - often ebony and walnut - into a perfect picture.
Yumekobo: art for things of daily use
The former president of Yumekobo was inspired by the World Heritage Site \"Chusonji Temple\", a temple rich in beautiful Kai-Zogan decorations. The idea of bringing the high art of Kai-Zogan to the people by decorating everyday products with it quickly matured and has accompanied his entire professional life. Thus, Yumekobo quickly became known as a manufactory that decorates especially small products with pretty, vivid motifs in high-quality kai- and moku-zogan technique. Yumekobo chopsticks are especially popular and unique in their design. There are yumekobo hashi with many motifs, such as the four seasons and the numerous lucky charms, which are perfectly executed despite the small area and slight roundness of the chopsticks. The popularity of Yumekobo chopsticks is very high in Japan, as they are very much in line with the growing desire for sustainable, durable and beautiful products.
Chopsticks from Yumekobo: simply beautiful, simply healthy
In Japan, chopsticks are mainly used as cutlery. For food that is already prepared before cooking as bite-sized pieces.

Ebony, favorite of magicians
Very high quality ebony chopsticks. Black ebony is real heartwood and is one of the most valuable types of wood. It is very hard, heavy and has a density of between 0.9 and 1.3 kg/dm³. Ebony is mostly used for the construction of sophisticated musical instruments. Ebony plays an important role in mythology. It is often said to have a magical effect. It is said to protect against demons, preserve the power of magical objects and - in mythology - is considered the ideal raw material for magic wands.
