Product description
Chopsticks are traditionally held in the right hand, even by some left-handed people. Although chopsticks may now be found in either hand, a few still consider left-handed chopstick use improper etiquette. This practice prevents a left-handed chopstick user from accidentally elbowing a right-handed user when seated closely together. A pair of chopsticks is held in a certain proper way. The lower chopstick is stationary and placed between the base of the thumb and top of the ring finger, whilst the upper chopstick is placed at the top of the index finger, ring finger, and thumb and moved to pick up food. Chopsticks, when not in use, are placed either to the right or below one's plate in a Chinese table setting.
