Many foreigner in Japan use chopsticks very well. However, do they know taboo of using chopsticks? Now, I will tell you some of them. Look at the left photo. This is one of the taboo called "tatebashi". We must not stick chopsticks into rice and stand it. I was told it is bad because it looks like a grave. Moving a dish in front of us by using chopsticks is also bad act. It is called "yosebashi". These acts are rude even in our own home. Look at the right photo. This is named "sashibashi". It is taboo but it is often done even by Japanese. Therefore, you should refrain from it in the Japanese traditional restaurant.

Why not have a photo of yosebashi?
And an actual description of sashibashi might be helpful in understanding it.
