A chopstick rest 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, plastic, metal, glass, porcelain or precious stones such as jade. If the chopsticks come in paper sleeves, some people fold the sleeves into chopstick rests.〔 (a video of folding a chopstick rest )〕〔 ("箸袋で作る箸置き" (How to fold a chopstick rest) )〕 In East Asia, chopstick rests are usually used at formal dinners. They are placed on the front-left side of the dishes, with the chopsticks parallel to the table edge and the points toward the left, or to the right side of the dishes, with the chopstick points towards to the front. ==Gallery== Image:Chopstick position.jpg|Various kinds of rests Image:Sake, Chopsticks, Paper Rest.jpg|Origami chopstick rest image:Chinese Cutlery.jpg|Chinese style setting image:Spoon and chopsticks.jpg|A chopstick-spoon rest in a Chinese buffet in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia image:Meshi.JPG|A typical Japanese meal — chopsticks on a chopstick rest at the front side of the dishes, pointing to the left 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chopstick rest」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
