This chasen (tea whisk) is made in China and was imported around 2018, before the COVID-19 pandemic. It is not susudake (smoked bamboo) made with bamboo that has changed to an amber color over time. I believe it is a kurotake chasen (black bamboo tea whisk) made with bamboo that has been artificially processed and colored black or brown. In the early 2000s, these were sold online for around 700 yen, making them inexpensive chasens. Some people may find the length too short and not to their liking. * I don't think this is suitable for those who have specific preferences or traditions regarding dimensions, shape, and color. * I think this is suitable for beginners, kitchen use, club activities, etc., for those who are not particular about inexpensive chasens. 【Urgent orders, discounts, and holds】are not available.
