Chopsticks are a pair of small even-length tapered sticks, used when we eat something, and are commonly made of wood, bamboo, metal, bone, ivory.
The pair of sticks is used in one hand – between the thumb and fingers – and used to pick up pieces of food.
I think chopsticks are important for Japanese culture.
When we are small, we are taught how to use chopsticks correctly.
Recently there has been a reformation how to use chopsticks.

Hi!!
I like chopsticks.
It’s one of the most important things symbolize Japanese culture!!
When I went to Korea I used iron chopsticks, but it was not comfortable for me. I like wooden chopsticks the best!!
How about you??

Hi, Yukimi.
Thank you for your comment.
Chopsticks are very useful during having meals.
I don’t like chopsticks made of iron.
I like wooden one too.

Hi, Yukiko.
Thank you for your comment.
I think most japanese use chopsticks everyday.
I also know you are good at using them.
You should teach your children in the future how to use them well.
