Black Bamboo Matcha Whisk Japanese traditional craftsman, Iki Ikeda handmade Chasen made in japan

This elegant matcha whisk is handcrafted from natural black bamboo by Iki Ikeda, a highly skilled traditional craftsman in Japan.

The black bamboo is naturally dried and aged to deepen its color and enhance durability—no artificial dye or treatment used.

With 67‑80 fine tines, it delivers a rich froth and a smooth matcha texture perfect for ceremonial and daily use.

Continuing the tradition of Takayama chasen craftsmanship, the Ikeda family handcrafts each whisk from select bamboo harvested in Japan.

Each chasen is a result of years of careful cultivation, sun drying, and precise carving—producing a tool treasured by tea masters and enthusiasts alike.

• Rinse gently with water after use—do not use soap or detergent.
• Let it dry naturally on a chasen stand to maintain its shape and prevent mold.
• Avoid prolonged moisture and store in a dry, well-ventilated area.

Note: Black bamboo whisk has a slightly firmer texture and elegant presence, making it a favorite for formal tea occasions and display.
