Chopsticks exhibition, workshop
The Keio Plaza Hotel Tokyo in Shinjuku will hold an exhibition featuring hashi (Japanese chopsticks) at its lobby on the third floor of the hotel, from Dec. 1 to 25.
The aim of the exhibition is to help to promote Japanese culture and aesthetic sense to the hotel's international clientele. About 300 kinds of traditional chopsticks, such as Wajima lacquer from Ishikawa Prefecture, Wakasa lacquer from Fukui Prefecture and seasonal chopsticks, will be displayed and will be available for purchase.
During the exhibition period the hotel's French restaurant Duo Fourchettes will serve a course that can be eaten with the chopsticks (except dinner Dec. 20-25).
