Traditional Sushi Etiquette

Sushi is my favorite food, there is no doubt about it. I have been eating sushi since I can remember, and I have always eaten it the same way. I receive my sushi, mix some wasabi into my soy sauce, and proceed to stuff the delicious slabs of fish into my mouth. After doing some reading, however, I discovered that there was an entire world of etiquette behind the consumption of sushi, varying by the type of sushi, the condiment, and even where one places their chopsticks after eating. I decided to write my annotated bibliography on traditional sushi etiquette to improve my manners when I eat at sushi restaurants, improve my dining experience, and potentially inform others who also would like to show respect through knowledge of traditional customs.
