Why would you want to cut food with your chopsticks? Oh, and again, don't stab food, ever. Especially a bowl of rice. Don't even do it at your homecountry(chances are the cooks and workers will be japanese, and could very well be offended, disgusted by you)
And as kuroneko mentioned, dont pass from chopstick to chopstick.

As for table manners, theres this, and then there is:
Slurp, and try to slurp/eat in harmony with the others with you.
When eating sushi, do not put a ton of stuff on it. It is disrespectful to the chef.
Do not put stuff in your white rice. Disrespectful.
Also, thank the appropriate people before and after the meal.
Chopsticks go a certain way on the table but I don't remember which way. Also, if your in japan, and your in a place that does not have western sitting, sit according to your gender. Meaning, dont sit like a girl if your a guy, and don't sit in a casual way. I can't really explain the ways of sitting through text, so you'll have to get that info elsewhere.


Life brings death.
Death brings eyes.
Each time we blink
we open our eyes again,
yet, when we blink our last
people will close their eyes and tear.

However, the death will cause people to eventually open their eyes once again.
Become stronger, strive to live as long as they can.
Life brings death.
Death Brings life.
