You put some of the soy sauce and wasabi on your plate. You pick up the
sushi with the chopsticks and gently dip it in the soy sauce puddle. You
take up a bit of wasabi with the chop sticks and dab it on the sushi.
Then you pick up the whole thing with the chop sticks and eat it.
The ginger is not supposed to be eaten with the sushi. It is eaten
between servings of sushi as a palate cleanser.
I believe it is acceptable to eat "hand rolls" with one's fingers.
Sashimi is never eaten with fingers.
