Thank you for viewing. This is a tea utensil from the Soshu school, and it is unused. It is fixed to the box with glue, which is proof of its unused condition, and it cannot be moved until it reaches the buyer. With the inbound matcha boom, chasen (tea whisks) have also become expensive, so this is a great deal if you are not particular about the school or if you are using it for your hobby. - Brand: Soshu School - Manufacturer: Yamato Shozan - Material: Bamboo - Purpose: Tea Utensil - Condition: Unused Thank you for your consideration.
