Chopsticks etc
Chopsticks are my preferred utensils, not because I’m a Chinese but because it’s just a preference. I can’t explain the pleasure derived from lifting food with sticks and neither am I able to explain ALL the enthusiasm demonstrated by designers who desire to make chopsticks an absolute pleasure for anyone to use!
Restless chopsticks [浮箸] from Plywood
The chopsticks are rest-less because they don’t have to rest. The tapered design ensures a hygienic distance between the tips and the dining surface. An award-winning creation by Mikiya Kobayashi. Available at Amazon.jp or Concierge (for my sg friends).

Wow! This is interesting! I didn’t know the simple chopsticks could have so many different designs and science behind it.

I love chopsticks, too! After spending 3 weeks in China last year, I quickly got used to using them and wanted to continue on my return home. Unfortunately, I soon got out of the habit. But, you’ve found some lovely designs. K.
