“One Piece” recreates Zoro’s three sword style with chopsticks!? A “chopstick rest” has been released! Which do you choose, tiger cut or extreme tiger cut?
Welcome back to the I Am Anime website
From the TV anime “ONE PIECE,” a chopstick rest for Roronoa Zoro, the first member of the Straw Hat Pirates, will be appearing. By placing chopsticks, it is an item that completes Zoro’s techniques, “Tiger Crop” and “Extreme Tiger Crop.”
“ONE PIECE” is a Japan’s leading hit comic that Oda Eiichiro began serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump in 1997 and boasts a total circulation of over 500 million copies worldwide. This story follows the epic adventure of the pirate Straw Hat Pirates led by the main character Monkey D. Luffy, going on a grand adventure around the “One Piece” left behind by the legendary “Pirate King” Gol D. Roger.
The TV anime began airing in 1999, and in October 2024 its 25th anniversary. The commemorative event, “ONE PIECE EMOTION,” will be held at the Mie venue, Nagashima Spa Land, starting March 15th, following the Tokyo venue and Kumamoto venue (ends). Looking back on the 25th anniversary, the exhibition will be held where you can experience the world view, focusing on the Wano Country arc and the Egghead arc.
Zoro is the first member of the Straw Hat Pirates and is the swordsman Luffy trusts. Castem, a precision casting manufacturer in Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture, has recently commercialized “Zoro’s chopstick rests” using its own precision casting technology. We offer two types of chopstick rests made of stainless steel and chopstick rests for tiger hunting.
All chopstick rests are reproduced in three-dimensional form from Zoro’s chest. By placing two chopsticks, Zoro’s techniques, “Tiger Hunting” and “Extreme Tiger Hunting.”
The sword held in the mouth has two dents to make it easy to place chopsticks, making it easy to use. The material is made of stainless steel with excellent corrosion resistance, and it also has a heavy feel when you hold it in your hand (approximately 140g).
The chopstick rests are made using the “lost wax manufacturing method,” which allows for the most complicated shape of the casting method to be made into metal, and the details are beautifully expressed, such as the differences in muscle mass two years ago and two years later, and the tsuba (chimba) of the sword.
This is also a recreation item that allows you to complete the three-sword style and techniques by placing chopsticks, making it an irresistible item for Zoro lovers.
Both the “tiger hunting chopstick rest” and “extreme tiger hunting chopstick rest” will be on sale from March 5th at the official Castem online store, “IRON FACTORY,” and meta mate Eslite Seikatsu Nihonbashi store.
