The proper usage of chopsticks (hashi) is the most important table etiquette in Japan. Chopsticks are never left sticking vertically into rice, as this resembles incense sticks (which are usually placed vertically in sand) during offerings to the dead. This may easily offend some Japanese people. Using chopsticks to spear food or to point is also frowned upon and it is considered very bad manners to bite chopsticks. Other important chopsticks rules to remember include the following:[citation needed]
Hold your chopsticks towards their end, and not in the middle or the front third.
When you are not using your chopsticks and when you are finished eating, lay them down in front of you with the tip to left.
Do not pass food with your chopsticks directly to somebody else's chopsticks. This technique is only used at funerals, where the bones of the cremated body of the dead person are passed from person to person in this manner.
Do not move your chopsticks around in the air too much, nor play with them.
Do not move around plates or bowls with chopsticks.
To separate a piece of food into two pieces, exert controlled pressure on the chopsticks while moving them apart from each other.
