Chasen (tea whisk) made by "Nagata Ryokido," a tea utensil shop founded in the Kansei era (1789). Ryokido is a long-established brand that still has a shop in Kyoto today. This item was found in my parents' warehouse and is about 50-60 years old. There are no noticeable scratches or stains, but it is a used item. Due to long-term storage, there may be unseen breaks or dirt on the tips of the bristles. Height: approx. 11.3 cm The box is slightly aged due to its age, but has an antique charm. The number of bristles is around 80. The handle is thin and recommended for both thin and thick matcha.
