Plan description

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.

Challenge to make traditional tea utensils

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.

Great for Kyoto-like souvenirs

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.

You can choose from two types of courses

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.

Shave innocently Bamboo is sharpened and shaped. Even for the first time, the staff will kindly teach you, so it's okay.

Full-scale finish Let's arrange it in a well-balanced shape while looking at the sample. The chashaku I made feels like a treasure. * The chashaku in the photo is white bamboo. (Standard course)
