Chasen Black Bamboo Matcha Whisk

Chasen Black Bamboo Matcha Whisk

Takayama Chasen
$125.00
5 left

A Takayama chasen in black bamboo, an essential tea utensil for preparing and whisking matcha. It helps evenly disperse matcha powder into a milk or water base for a fine, silky-smooth bowl.

Each whisk is carefully crafted in Nara, Japan, using traditional techniques, from a single piece of bamboo split along its grain. The durable, flexible, brush-like tines aerate the matcha as you whisk. It's said there are only about 15 chasen craftsmen in Japan today, and Takayama chasen are made by extremely skilled hands, making them long-lasting tools trusted by many.

Pairs well with Origami's Matcha Whisk Stand in matte grey, light blue or matte beige, our Chashaku Matcha Scoop and our Nankei Pottery Kittate Matcha Bowl.

Takayama Chasen

Born in Takayama in Ikoma, Nara Prefecture, about 500 years ago during the Muromachi period. It is said that the tea master Murata Juko, who is said to be the founder of Wabi-cha, requested the production of a stirring tool suitable for the tea ceremony, and that it was created by Takayama Minbu-Irimichi Sosui.

After that, the Takayama Chasen that was created was presented to Emperor Gotomimon. He was extremely pleased with it, and received the name of "Takashi" from the emperor. Soseki was honored and worked hard to make chasen and improve his skills, and the manufacturing method became the story of the Takayama family. After that, when the Takayama family moved, the remaining 16 vassals entrusted the production of the chasen.
