Scroll down or click here for the Main Menu! Greetings from Boston, Massachusetts (USA) and welcome to my Chopsticks Gallery! My name is Erik Wegweiser, curator and host during your visit here. In real life, I'm a computer consultant and database designer. But among my hobbies is collecting chopsticks. These are often handmade, of unusual material or design, and represent various world cultures and artists. I have over 300 pair in my ever-growing collection. Incidentally, the answer to your question, "Why chopsticks?" is simple: They're not Pokemon, Beanie Babies, etc., and the mere fact that you can't buy them at the corner gas station along with prepaid phone cards or get them free with your hamburger is enough to make finding them half the fun.
This is generally a noncommercial site. With one exception (so far), none of the items shown are for sale here, but some are available for sale by other artists, manufacturers and retailers.

You can buy these really cool 'folding' chopsticks from me!
Click Here.I welcome visitors to browse and enjoy this site. I am working to include more informative and educational content about chopsticks and their use worldwide. Please do let me know of any such resources I could add to this site, or if you know of sources for unique new acquisitions to the collection gallery. Gladly accepting contributions and seeking active sponsors!
