This charming set of rabbit chopstick rests (箸置) is made by Mochikichi もち吉, a well-known Japanese confectionery brand celebrated for its traditional craftsmanship and refined seasonal designs. Created for the Year of the Rabbit (卯年), this pair beautifully reflects Japanese New Year symbolism.
Each rabbit is crafted in smooth white porcelain with a glossy finish, featuring delicate hand-painted details — soft blue eyes and subtle red and green accents on the ears. The rabbits are depicted in a gentle resting pose, symbolizing peace, good fortune, and prosperity. In Japanese culture, the rabbit is associated with harmony, agility, and auspicious beginnings.
The set comes in its original presentation box with elegant Japanese paper design and bold red “卯” character on the cover, making it ideal for seasonal display or as a thoughtful gift. A delightful addition to any table setting, these vintage rabbit hashioki bring a touch of Japanese tradition and understated elegance to everyday dining or festive occasions.
