Having just had my guitar restrung this week in Australia, and having bought two new picks, I was thinking when I saw the photo, "That could be a guitar-pick keeper" but they I realized from Wendy's hand that it would be far too large - hence my comment of "giant guitar picks". So it's just a funny coincidence that you would think I meant "bachi". But now I know! Thanks for the links. :)Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17323321295593693009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-324860522351083573.post-84561715279737580092013-11-30T23:02:11.228+09:002013-11-30T23:02:11.228+09:00I know sushi is a Japanese favourite, and I also k...I know sushi is a Japanese favourite, and I also know that the Koreans have a similar dish called Kimbap, which you can buy in the traditional roll shape or as triangles wrapped in seaweed. These would be the perfect containers for the triangle kimbap.<br />KarenKTeachCambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18360213423837201954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-324860522351083573.post-54339220149770833202013-11-30T14:31:01.963+09:002013-11-30T14:31:01.963+09:00Here is a link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamis...Here is a link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamisen.Dan Ruddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01990367281825638568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-324860522351083573.post-81829320055591734822013-11-30T14:29:01.415+09:002013-11-30T14:29:01.415+09:00Deb, I like your comment.

But the big guitar pick is called a bachi or plectrum and is used for a shamisen .<br />Dan Ruddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01990367281825638568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-324860522351083573.post-16131721028533382062013-11-29T14:05:08.117+09:002013-11-29T14:05:08.117+09:00Okay, pizza is not so common in Japan, but I'm...Okay, pizza is not so common in Japan, but I'm going to guess a custom-shaped lunch container for taking your left-over pizza to school.
