Japanese WWII Era Black Lacquered Chopsticks-These would have been stored in a small wooden box or rolled up in rawhide, but we do not have the box or leather for this set. This set of chopsticks is made of black lacquered wood, that has that decorative white circle pattern on the side. This set measures 9 ½ inches (24.13cm) long. They are in excellent condition. When the Allied boys were leaving Japan, many of these were purchased locally as souvenirs. These fancy black lacquered chopsticks are probably a private purchase. They were allowed to have their own personal sticks in their mess kit as well. Much nicer than the disposable chopsticks that were also available to them. A rare and interesting piece of field gear.
