Wahokudo Chasen - Shin Kazuho

Handcrafted chasen made by Mr. Tango Tanimura in Takayama, Nara, who is a 20th generation chasen craftsman from a 500-year-old of a chasen maker’s family. This shin kazuho is made of local white bamboo in Japan. We visited his studio and learned about his skills and traditional craftsmanship. His chasen are beautiful and functional. They are 100% natural and chemical-free. MATSU KAZE TEA imports his products directly by air in order to maintain quality. Note: The handles can crack, especially in dry climates. This does not impact the functionality of the chasen. For some, it is consistent with Japanese art to see this as adding character.
