The Ocean series was born from the idea of students in the Marine Science Department of Wakasa High School, who wanted people to know about the current situation of Wakasa Bay (where Matsukan resides). Wakasa Bay has long been a source of prosperity for the people of Obama. However, over the past half-century, there have been more and more waste washing ashore and tainting the bay loved by locals.
This product incorporates fragments of plastic along with the natural resources of the sea, such as shells, traditionally used in the production of Wakasa lacquer. It represents a modern interpretation of Wakasa lacquer, reflecting the present state of Wakasa Bay.
Wakasa Bay is beautiful and bountiful. However, the present Wakasa Bay has become less and less of what it used to be. The students hope that these chopsticks can serve as a new catalyst for thinking about "using" and "disposing of" plastic.
Colours are inspired by the four seasons of Wakasa Bay: Spring (Pink), Summer (Orange), Autumn (Yellow Green), Winter (Blue)
