Bamboo Whisk (Chasen) for Matcha
The bamboo whisk,
or chasen, is the essential tool needed to make a bowl of matcha. A
stalk of bamboo is carefully spliced into 80 bristles and tied with
string by hand. Skilled craftsmanship passed down through generations
is needed to make each whisk, as this item cannot be made mechanically
even using today's most modern technology.
