  Comments:
* Clarify specifically used for handling charcoal (esp. in brazier – seen these a few places lately)
* Merge two definitions – “(fire) tongs” is not a separate concept, but just a more idiomatic English way of describing this tool, though it’s a specifically Japanese one (all the 国語辞書 specifically state “chopsticks”).
