Mushakoujisenke Chabako Chasen (Black Bamboo) – Tango Tanimura

This highly unique Chasen is designed for use by the Mushakoujisenke tea ceremony school. It is a Chabako or Nodate size, much smaller than a regular Chasen, and is designed for use outdoors in a tea box (Chabako) tea set.

These were part of a custom order and a couple of Chasen were left over. It’s therefore very unusual to come across this type of Chasen unless they are custom made.

It was hand made by 20th generation Master Bamboo Whisk Craftsman Tango Tanimura. His family’s history of crafting Chasen even predates the famous Sen no-Rikyu, renowned as father of the three major Japanese tea schools.

Sculpted from rare black Hachiku bamboo that has been seasoned for around 3 years, this beautiful implement is designed for those practicing the Mushakoujisenke style of tea ceremony, or anyone who wants a unique Chasen with which to prepare their matcha tea.
