Price reduced. Thank you for viewing. This is a chashaku (tea scoop) by the venerable Taikaku Tachibana, with the inscription "Yama wa Yobu Banzai no Koe" (The mountains echo with the sound of ten thousand years). Although it is not a new item, it is in very good condition with no cracks, chips, or stains. However, the lid of the chashaku tube is tight, so it is stored slightly ajar. I haven't seen this inscription much online, but I recently saw a hanging scroll with this Zen phrase by the venerable Taikaku. If you are interested, please consider purchasing. If you are considering purchasing multiple items, please contact me in the comments section. I will create a dedicated page and offer a small discount. * "Yama wa Yobu Banzai no Koe" (The mountains echo with the sound of ten thousand years) When you climb a mountain and shout "banzai," the sound echoes. It is said to be the origin of the three cheers of "banzai."
