These were beautifully designed and shipped carefully. Sent them as gifts for a friend who recently got a house and loves cherry blossoms. Also tempted to get myself some.

These chopsticks are absolutely adorable. Nice and light, but feel strong. They have a nice texture on the end so you can grip items very well. The 18cm size is great for a child, I think.
