Frank Lloyd Wright Imperial Hotel Oya Carving Chopstick Set with Gift Box

From 1913-1922, Frank Lloyd Wright designed and built the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, Japan. For decades this landmark serves an an architectural icon for the city, during which time it survived several devastating earthquakes, until it was demolished in 1968. Fortunately, the main entrance and hotel lobby were preserved and reconstructed in 1968 at the Museum Meiji-mura, an open-air architectural museum and theme park near Nagoya in Aichi prefecture, Japan. 

The designs on these chopstick came from a drawing for carved oya stone piers for the Cabaret casual dining space. Wright saw Oya, a native igneous rock, used in Japan and was very interested in its mottled quality had it carved in a multitude of patterns for this highly ornamented hotel. Set includes 5 chopsticks.
