Suikaen Chashaku (tea scoop)
Suikaen Tanimura Yasuburo: Susudake Chashaku (Japanese Dark Bamboo Tea Scoop)
With over 500 years of making bamboo whisks and tea scoops, Suikaen Tanimura Yasuburo is a staple within the Takayama, Nara artisans.
In the Japanese tea ceremony, the chashaku is an integral tool as it is deeply intertwined in the spirit and flow of the moment.
The positions of the nodes, the thickness, the color, and the shape are all specific to each tea scoop. Once the chashaku is made, it is even given a name by the artisan who makes them reflecting their thoughts and feelings.
