Product Description :
NARA TAKAYAMA CHASEN (JAPANESE BAMBOO MATCHA GREEN TEA WHISK): Handcrafted by a renowned master craftsman, this authentic Japanese matcha whisk is crafted from the finest Japanese black bamboo.
From beginners to professionals, the 60 prong matcha maker will produce perfectly frothy, evenly mixed matcha drinks.
The bamboo matcha whisk is made in Japan by Inoue Wakasa and is especially popular with practitioners of the Mushakouji Senke style of tea ceremony.
Inoue Wakasa has been officially recognized as a master craftsman for traditional arts by the Japanese government.
He was an apprentice under the strict tutelage of his father for 3 years before he was considered ready enough to produce Chasen matcha whisks ready to be sold.
He took on the traditional artisan name from his father in his thirties and became the 3rd generation master whisk-maker in his family.
He spends a lot of his time now training the future generation of Japanese matcha whisk-makers and documenting the history and styles of Chasen whisks for the national archive.
His work can be found in the prestigious Takashimaya department store in Tokyo and is recognized even among his peers for its high quality.
All green tea whisks may look the same to an untrained eye but a Matcha drink made with a Nara Takayama Chasen crafted by a master craftsman will be completely different.
Apart from the outstanding workmanship, the locally sourced bamboo is of exceptional quality due to the harsh snowy winters.
