Chasen-Making Workshop

Cherish your tea time with your own custom chasen.

[Special Event at Nakamura Tokichi Byodoin Store]

Bring Tea Time Closer to You

Chasen-Making Experience

The "chasen" (tea whisk) is an indispensable tool for making tea.

While it is a delicate tool handcrafted by artisans, if you choose the colors yourself and finish it with your own hands, your tea time will become even more personal and cherished.

On the day of the event, we will welcome Mr. Yasaburo Tanimura, a chasen craftsman from Takayama, Nara, who will guide you through the experience of weaving with threads of your preferred color.

Why not enjoy a rich time of craftsmanship with tea by your side?

From the day you make it, you're sure to look forward to making tea. Please feel free to join us.
