Collection: Matcha Whisk (高山茶筅・Takayama Chasen)
Takayama Chasen has a history of over 500 years, first created in the late Muromachi period (1333-1573) in Ikoma Takayama, Nara. During the 15th century, Takayama Sosetsu came up with a new type of bamboo whisk appropriate for the new style of Japanese tea ceremony.
A handcrafted chasen is feels extremely different from factory made ones the moment you hold it – they feel right and light on the hand; the intricate design and attention to detail of a chasen master is impossible to miss. Made to last, a Takayama Chasen will stand the test of everyday whisking with proper care. On the other hand, mass produced matcha whisks are machine made – lacking in quality with brittle materials and no craftsmanship.
