5th Urasenke Chashaku Tea Scoop | Fukyūsai

Fukyūsai Chashaku Matcha Scoop

This is a ceremonial-grade tea scoop. A special Susutake-smoked bamboo Chashaku reserved for Chakai and Chaji connoisseurs. Handcrafted in the exact style of Urasenke V - Jōsō Sōshitsu 1673-1704, by a Kyoto's renowned craftsman. Susutake-smoked Takayama bamboo is a premium bamboo grown in the high mountains of Kyoto. It’s dried in the open air and aged under the snow for at least two winters before being selected for making this type of exceptional Chashaku. The countless hours of work a craftsman spent on this rather simple-looking piece is mind-blowing. The final result is a refined and striking piece of art which represents the philosophy of Japanese tea culture at its best.
