Collection: WABI-SABI GIFTS and COOL WARES

Wabi-Sabi

 In traditional Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi (侘寂) is a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection.  The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of appreciating beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete" in nature.  It is a concept derived from the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence (三法印, sanbōin), specifically impermanence (無常, mujō), suffering (苦, ku) and emptiness or absence of self-nature (空, kū).  Characteristics of wabi-sabi aesthetics and principles include asymmetry, simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy, and the appreciation of natural objects and the forces of nature.

With Wabi-Sabi Gifts, we celebrate this aesthetic as well as Japanese kitchenware and the simplicity and individual beauty of handmade products, including our exclusive Wabi-Sabi hand-crafted hardwood offerings of single wide-board sushi boards (geta), fine wooden tableware, serving sets, trays, boxes, cutting boards and kitchen accessories



Wabi Sabi Gifts are perfect for the gourmet cooks, foodies and Japanese food lovers in your life

Our fine Japanese kitchen gifts include getas that are handmade in North Carolina by skilled craftsmen, and are available in multiple sizes and your choice of hardwood. Handcrafted from sustainable harvested mountain grown black cherry wood or tight grain cypress (hinoki) using painstaking dovetail construction.  

Sushi Pantry's fine crafted Geta beauties are both elegant and rustic. This Japanese kitchenware makes a lovely gift on its own, but if you add a jar of our real wasabi, chopsticks and wasabi dishes, this makes a perfect gift that will be LOVED and remembered for years to come.

In addition to our lovely gift sets; see our Real Wasabi powder and  "Cool Wares",
