[Kamigyo Ward, Kyoto] Experience making a traditional tea scoop at a long-established store founded in the Taisho era! Available in English

In Kyoto's long-established store "Yokoyama Bamboo Store" handling bamboo-based products sales and space production, you can experience traditional craftwork making using bamboo. In our plan, we will make "cha-cha (cha-cha)" used as a tea ceremony.

We will make a chashaku using the Kyoto famous bamboo "Shiratake" as a material. A chashaku is a traditional tea utensils that scoops matcha in a tea bowl or a light tea bowl and transfers it to a bowl. First, use a knife to sharpen the shape to your liking, and finally use sandpaper to smooth it out. Take about 2 hours to finish the work.

A piece you have made with your own hands has a unique handmade feel that cannot be found in mass-produced items. You can take it home on the same day, so it would make a great gift for someone who enjoys the tea ceremony. Create a wonderful keepsake as a memento of your trip to Kyoto. An optional tea scoop case is also available.

For the normal standard course, you can make a chashaku from white bamboo, and if you choose the premium course, you can make it from stained bamboo, grained bamboo, rusted bamboo, and genuine soot bamboo.
