Eating Utensils - Laquer and Inlay Chopsticks - Asian Cuisines and Artifacts

Now widely familiar to cultures world-wide, chopsticks are eating and cooking utensils - cultural artifacts - associated with many of the cuisines of Asia.  The pair shown in this post serve as a decorative memento of many wonderful meals and of the days when I learned to use chopsticks by meeting the challenge of learning to pick up a single peanut or a single grain of rice. Now I simply enjoy the pleasure of using them once more when I am lucky enough to dine out eating at Chinese or Japanese restaurants.
