Takayama Chasen 80-Prong Traditional Matcha Whisk (Hachijuppon-date)

This 80-prong Takayama chasen is an authentic, traditionally crafted Japanese matcha whisk, handmade in Yamato-Takayama, Nara Prefecture, the historic birthplace of chasen craftsmanship. Designed for precision and balance, the hachijuppon-date (80 prongs) configuration produces a smooth, evenly aerated bowl of matcha with a fine, delicate foam.

Each whisk is meticulously carved from a single piece of bamboo by skilled artisans belonging to the Takayama Tea Whisk Producers’ Cooperative, preserving techniques passed down through generations. The fine prong count allows for exceptional control, making this whisk ideal for both ceremonial preparation and refined daily practice.

This chasen is officially recognized as a Traditional Craft Product and carries the designation of the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, certifying its authenticity, craftsmanship, and cultural significance. This government designation is reserved for products that meet strict standards of traditional production methods and regional heritage.

Crafted in Yamato-Takayama, an area renowned for supplying chasen to tea masters across Japan for centuries, this whisk represents the highest level of Japanese tea culture — where function, artistry, and tradition intersect.

Encased in a protective container and marked with official certification seals, this chasen is not only a functional tea tool but also a symbol of Japanese craftsmanship and refinement.
