Chasen By Suikaen

This Dark bamboo shin style Takayama chasen is handcrafted by Mr. Yasaburo Tanimura of Suikaen, from the Takayama village. Each chasen takes an hour to produce. It is produced slowly, with great care; the mark of true craftsmanship.
Mr. Tanimura is 25th Generation Chasen Master, head of Suikaen since 1970. With a inherited technique of more than 500 years, Tanimura Suikaen is one of the few remaining multi-generational families in Takayama producing extremely high quality bamboo tea accessories using the traditional techniques.
