Transforming 'Long Time No See' Smiles into Lifelong Keepsakes. The Magic of 'Teddy Bear x Premium Celebratory Chopsticks' to Brighten the Daily Lives of Parents and Grandparents for Golden Week Homecoming, Mother's Day, and Father's Day.

Petit Loup Co., Ltd. (Location: Izumisano City, Osaka Prefecture; Representative Director and President: Kota Osada), which plans, manufactures, and sells original plush toys, is proposing a "Longevity Celebration Chopsticks Gift Set" ideal for longevity celebrations, ahead of the Golden Week homecoming season, Mother's Day, and Father's Day.

This series, which combines a teddy bear wearing a Chanchanko symbolizing each milestone such as Kanreki (red), Koki (purple), and Beiju (yellow), with "celebratory chopsticks" crafted by Japanese artisans, has received widespread support since its launch in 2025 for being "not only a memorable keepsake but also something that can be used every day."

■ A Special Gift to Hand Over on the Day You Meet: For Parents and Grandparents Living Apart

Many people may be returning to their hometowns for Golden Week this year after a long time. Also, events to express gratitude to parents continue with "Mother's Day" in May and "Father's Day" in June. "I don't know what to give that they'll like," "Formal celebrations feel awkward"... Petit Loup's teddy bear gifts solve such worries.

■ Why is the "Celebratory Chopsticks" Set Appreciated? Three Deep Meanings

Since ancient times, chopsticks have been treasured as auspicious items. By combining them with a teddy bear, their meaning deepens even further.

1. "Hashi" (Chopsticks) Connects to "Issho" (Lifetime) and "Hashi" (Bridge)

   The reading "hashi" for chopsticks is likened to a "bridge" that connects happiness in life. From this, the meaning of "a bridge to a healthy lifetime" has been imbued. In addition to the wish to "never be troubled by food throughout life," it also carries the meaning of "bridging" over life's milestones to new happiness, making it ideal for longevity celebrations.

2. The Ultimate Thoughtfulness: "Eat Well and Stay Healthy"
   Chopsticks are a "symbol of daily life," held morning, noon, and night. Gifting good chopsticks is a message of care for the recipient's diet and, by extension, their health.

3. Balancing "Healing (Memory)" and "Practicality (Daily Life)"
   The teddy bear serves as a "keepsake that preserves the emotion of the day." The chopsticks serve as a "tool to support future health." When these two are combined, the warm feelings of the giver are conveyed every time they are used and seen.

■ Adopting Chopsticks from the Japanese Artisan Brand "Issou"

The chopsticks in the set are from "Issou," a premium chopstick brand that utilizes traditional Wakasa-nuri techniques and is lavishly adorned with gold and silver foil. Beautiful chopsticks matching the bear's color—red for Kanreki, purple for Koki, and yellow for Beiju—will elegantly decorate the celebratory dining table.
