From November 1, 2024, ANA will start selling the ' Wajima Lacquer Chopsticks' on international flights' duty-free sales.

Wajima lacquer is a traditional craft that has been passed down for many years in the Wajima region of Ishikawa Prefecture, and its beautiful design and high-quality finish have received high praise both domestically and internationally. Due to the Noto Peninsula Earthquake disaster in Reiwa 6, many Wajima lacquer artisans were affected, losing workshops and opportunities to create their works. With the aim of supporting the livelihoods and business restarts of these artisans and widely promoting the charm of Japan's traditional craft, 'Wajima Lacquer,' ANA started the planning and development of the ' Wajima Lacquer Chopsticks' in February this year. Finally, starting next month on the 1st, we will be able to deliver it to everyone.

The ' Wajima Lacquer Chopsticks' have designs featuring 'Mount Fuji and Cherry Blossoms' and 'Airplanes,' drawn with heartfelt dedication by skilled artisans using hand-painted maki-e techniques. With beautiful designs that evoke the essence of Japan, these chopsticks are perfect for everyday use and also make great gifts for loved ones.

To facilitate the 'passing of happiness' between the artisans of Wajima, a disaster-stricken area, and customers on ANA international flights, 5% of the proceeds from this product will be donated to 'Wajima City Hall, Ishikawa Prefecture,' to support the survival of the traditional craft 'Wajima Lacquer.' Going forward, ANA will continue to provide products filled with unique regional charm and contribute to the development of traditional crafts.
