Handmade Chasen 茶筅 (Matcha Whisk) 

Material: bamboo
Size: 11 x 6cm

During the tea ceremony, the host (the pavilion owner) who invites the guests expresses the spirit of "hospitality" by saying, "We want my guests to enjoy delicious tea." Instead of arranging ornate flowers in an alcove, place a flower in a bamboo vase for a tasteful ambience.

In a tea room separate from daily chores, you can create a space to enjoy tea, which is made right in front of you. Tea whisks can affect the taste of tea. We want you to experience the craftsmanship of the 530-year history of making this tea whisk.

High-quality tea whisks
Winters in Mountain Takayama are cold, and from January to February, bamboos from selected Kinki regions are dried in the fields, and the temperature drops to nearly 0°C at night.

For over a month, the temperature difference between day and night has hardened the bamboo, making it the material for high-quality tea bamboo.
