What are Japanese Chopsticks?
Chopsticks are eating utensils that originated in ancient China. They are long, tapered sticks that work together in order to pick up food from a bowl or plate. The Japanese first used chopsticks only in religious ceremonies. Eventually, Japanese chopsticks were utilized for eating purposes. The first Japanese chopsticks designated for dining were shaped like tweezers. The utensils were crafted from one piece of bamboo. It was until the tenth century CE that Japanese chopsticks were made as two individual pieces.
