Collection: Chopstick and Chopstickrest
Today, you can find Japanese people eating western dishes with forks, knives, and spoons, not only with chopsticks. However this was not the case in the past when only chopsticks were used. Most other countries who use chopsticks usually also use a spoon with their set also. This style of eating with only chopsticks is unique as it has only been in practice in Japan.
In old days, it was believed that used chopsticks contained the spirit of the person using them. It was thought that the chopsticks became that person’s alter ego, and thus were a connection to the divine. Therefore, instead of sharing chopsticks, each person usually owns their own dedicated pair at home. They are not even shared between husband and wife, or parent and child! Someone else’s chopsticks are never used at home.
Why don’t you purchase your own pair of chopsticks and make your meals a little more personal and special. You can also add a pop of color!
