Stephanie –
The Ummonchiku Chasen–or Cloud Crest Bamboo with Red String is a very elegant and one-of-a-kind piece by Tango Tanimura. I am very pleased with this chasen to add to my ever-growing collcection of Tango Tanimura works! The Red String is appropriate for using in celebrations or in auspicious events. I used this for New Year’s Eve before midnight and then used it again for New Year’s day. Absolutely wonderful and it stands out among my prized chasen in my collection.
