No items found.
Authentic Japanese 100-tine Hachiku (white bamboo) chasen (matcha whisk) handcrafted by master chasen artisan, Yasaburo Tanimura, one of 18 remaining chasen masters in Japan. Tanimura-san handles the complete cycle from growing the bamboo to hand-splitting and shaping. He is the 25th generation headmaster of his family's 500 year old lineage in the bamboo discipline, and nationally recognized as a traditional artisan of this endangered craft.
Takayama chasen are functional works of art and produce an exceptionally fine froth. They are entirely handmade and highly prized for their time-honored form and flexible strength, reflecting centuries of refinement in design and technique. Japanese bamboo whisks of this peerage account for <0.01% of the global market of matcha whisks, most of which are mass-produced by machine. To hold this hachiku chasen is to touch Japanese history, and to use it is to experience the four virtues of tea: Wa (Unity), Kei (Regard), Sei (Sincerity), Jaku (Stillness).
Remove whisk from box and wipe bottom of handle with a damp cloth to clean off rice-glue securing the whisk to the box. Prepare a bowl with hot (not boiling) water and soak only the tined end for a few seconds to soften bamboo. This allows tines to open gently and increases flexibility before whisking (recommended before each use). Shake off excess water & begin whisking. When whisking matcha, avoid pressing bristles too firmly into bowl. After whisking, rinse tines and let stand on the handle to dry. A kusenaoshi (whisk holder) can be used to help the tines return to their original shape after use, or display the whisk when fully dry.
