    Again, anyone able to help with translation please? I love the stick rests, they're super.

    Sorry, nothing imperial about these! 御箸 "chopsticks" is simply written here with a more formal honorific than the usual お箸.

    Thank you, khl! I did wonder if they were meant for a couple, given the size difference. Much obliged.
