The alpine climate is suitable for making good quality chasen. In winter in Ikoma Takayama, the temperature drops to near 0 ° C at night. The coldly selected light bamboo from the Kinki region is dried in the sun from January to February in the fields. For more than a month, the difference in temperature between day and night causes the bamboo to tighten, making it a good material for chasen.
