Shin Kazuho Chasen (Unmonchiku) Blue String 4 – Tango Tanimura

This distinctive Shin Kazuho Chasen is sculpted from rare Unmonchiku or “Cloud Crest Bamboo”. It features cloud like patches that are unique to each piece of bamboo.
Finished with coloured string, this 70 prong Chasen has been 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.
This beautiful implement is suitable for tea ceremony, or anyone who wants a special and unique chasen to produce an even and silky foam on the surface of their matcha tea.

Ludwig Locus –
This unique and handcrafted chasen is one of the main elements that can lift your session of Chado to a higher level. The beauty is one dimension, and the colour of the string and the bamboo have a value themselves, but it is about much more than just aesthetics. In fact, a chasen made by master Tango Tanimura and his team (or by colleague Kubo Komakichi) delivers an incredible level of ergonomics. It is so easy and fun to use that whisking the matcha tea becomes an act of Joy. Because it is a handcrafted piece, this kind of chasen also adds a more artisanal aspect to your Cha No Yu experience, providing more appreciation for the handmade goods and your own skills. Thank you to Tanimuro-San for creating so many wonderful tools and to Yuko of Koto Tea for all the kindness and professional service!
