Preserve the shape and performance of your matcha whisk
Extend the life and performance of your matcha whisk (chasen) with this elegant celadon blue whisk holder, also known as a kusenaoshi. Designed to restore the original shape of your whisk after use, it supports the natural curvature of the bristles, helping to maintain optimal frothing ability and prolong tool lifespan.
When a bamboo chasen is used repeatedly, moisture and whisking motion can cause its bristles to spread or deform. Placing the whisk on the holder while still damp allows the tines to dry evenly, conforming to the stand’s contour—shaped specifically to restore and retain the chasen’s ideal bloom. This ensures better shear force and consistency the next time you prepare matcha.
This whisk holder is crafted from Bankoyaki (Banko ware)—a distinctive Japanese ceramic that blends the strength of porcelain with the warmth of earthenware. Each piece is made in Japan and glazed in a soft celadon blue, offering both function and traditional beauty to your tea tools collection.
