Schadenfreude Chopstick Rests and Kokeshi Sake

Okinawa New Year Festival is ringing in the new year with little ceramic daruma chopstick rests, with and without black lacquered chopsticks.  5 daruma colors to choose from, 1 LI each with or without chopsticks.

And some sake to celebrate with!  There are also versions filled with green tea, if you prefer.  Each of the three sets is designed after a different style of kokeshi doll.  All include bottles with the top attached, bottle and top as separate objects, and the top on the table next to the bottle; plus stacks of cups to match stacked up into dolls, and singular unstacked cups.  Bottles and stacks can be touched to get a cup by you or your guests, in plain givers and in versions that will take each cup individually until the stack is gone (and then restack themselves automatically).  The Togatta dolls are stacked as dolls with the small cups upside down and also in stacks of small cups upright.  The Tsuchiyu dolls also have mixable stripes on the cups that can randomize themselves each time they are rezzed.  All have larger cups as part of the sets- the urn shaped torso cup in the case of the Tsugaru, and the extra large head cups for the others.  If this were a RL product, I would also be designing some drinking game around them for the large cups!

At the Okinawa New Year Festival, open December 26 at 7am SLT until January 12.
