What is Meoto-bashi?

Meoto-bashi means 2 pairs of chopsticks. “Meoto” means a couple, and “bashi” or “hashi” means chopsticks. Most of Japanese chopsticks gifts sets are Meoto-bashi.

We wish upon Meoto-bashi that “may a couple can be together forever by using Meoto-bashi together every day.”

In this reason, Japanese people have sent not only chopsticks, but also other pair of tableware (such as rice bowls or teacups.)
In addition to this reason, Meoto-bashi has some other auspicious meanings.

First, chopsticks are indispensable items for daily life for Japanese people. So, we wish “may a couple never suffer from starving,” “welfare of a family,” “health” or “long life” on chopsticks.

Also, chopsticks are always used in pair. We cannot use a chopstick alone. When we eat, we need a pair of chopsticks. It is like wife and husband.

Like this, Japanese chopstick gift sets have a lot of auspicious meanings. If you send Meoto-bashi gift sets, the recipients will be filled with happiness and your kind thought.
