Bamboo whisk small, height 8.5cm width 5cm
A bamboo whisk, or chasen, is an elementary part of making matcha tea. It is made from a piece of bamboo that is carefully cut and shaped by hand into 120, 100 or 80 bristles. Only specially trained artisans who have passed their knowledge down through generations can make such a bamboo whisk. It cannot be made mechanically - even the latest technology fails here.
