8knots Lunch Kit No.01 Japonais $48

A classic bistro napkin made in France, woven of 100% Belgian linen, pre-washed and generously proportioned at about 21 inches square + unique set of olive-wood eating utensils (chopsticks & spoon) handcrafted in Tunisia, using sustainably harvested wood from older trees that no longer produce olives. For every tree cut down, another is planted in its place. A wonderfully unique gift for any occasion, the 8knots Japonais Lunch Kit comes packaged in a sealed, rice paper pouch and is tagged with the image of an olive bonsai, reading on the back: In Japan, it is traditional to say ‘itadakimasu’ before eating a meal. The expression comes from the Buddhist principle of respecting all living things. It translates to “I humbly receive” and extends to mealtime in the form of thanks to plants, animals, fisherman, farmers, chefs, and all that went into bringing the meal to the table.

Offered in [napkin] colors - Blanc/Noir or Lin/Noir
