Chopstick Rests

A chopstick rest ( 箸置き , Japanese: hashioki ^? ) is tableware, similar to a spoon rest, used to keep chopstick tips off the table and to prevent used chopsticks from contaminating or rolling off tables. Chopstick rests are found more commonly in restaurants than in homes. They come in various shapes and are made from clay, wood, glass, porcelain or precious stones such as jade. If the chopsticks come in paper sleeves, some people fold the sleeves like origami in chopstick rests.

In Japan, chopstick rests are usually used at formal dinners and placed on the front-left side of the dishes. The chopsticks are placed parallel to the table edge with the points toward the left.
