8vo, hardcover in dw. In this vibrant, highly original account of the history of chopsticks, the author charts their evolution from a simple eating implement in ancient times to their status as a much more complex, cultural symbol today. The book surveys their use through Chinese history before exploring their transmission in the fifth century to other parts of Asia. With a striking selection of artwork he illustrates how chopstick use has influenced Asian cuisine and how, in turn, Asian cuisine continues to influence chopstick use, both in Asia and across the globe
