Chasen-tate / Kusenaoshi

The kusenaoshi is a delicate ceramic stand, crafted to preserve the shape and integrity of the chasen (The bamboo whisk used in Japanese tea ceremonies). 

After the chasen has whisked matcha into a frothy elixir, it may lose its perfect form. The kusenaoshi gently restores the chasen’s graceful curvature, ensuring it remains in optimal condition.

This simple yet vital tool reflects the deep care and mindfulness inherent in tea culture, symbolizing the harmony and balance that define the art of tea. 

The baby blue color of a kusenaoshi exudes a serene elegance, reminiscent of a clear morning sky. This soft hue brings a sense of calm to the tea ceremony, complementing the natural bamboo of the chasen with its tranquil presence. In its simplicity, the baby blue kusenaoshi embodies the quiet beauty and grace that define the art of tea.
