I\u2019ve been using chopsticks and eating natto since I was a kid. My mother was already drilling me on my hiragana and katakana by the time I could pick up a pencil, and, embarrassing as it is, I even had a Matsumoto Jun uchiwa pinned up on my wall when I was fourteen. But I\u2019ve got a horrendously difficult name to pronounce for the poor folks here, and I\u2019ve inherited a larger portion of my father\u2019s Caucasian characteristics than my mother\u2019s Japanese looks. So I have had to become used to the occasional, \u201cWow, you can use chopsticks!\u201d that inevitably deems it necessary for me to narrate a long-winded description of my family history.  by Rachel Cantrell"}
