Chashaku
Susudake Chashsku
Bamboo craft-artist Toru Hatsuta fashioned these Chashaku from rare "susudake" bamboo. Susudake is ceiling bamboo from traditional Japanese homes that have slowly colored from the smoke of the "irori" hearths in old house, over many decades.
A chashaku is a traditional Japanese tea scoop, used for measuring and pouring matcha powder. Each chashaku comes in a Kiri wood box.
Toru Hatsuta
A native of Tokyo, Toru Hatsuta began learning the art of bamboo craft in 2002. Within years, his pieces were recognized for their exquisite craftsmanship and beauty and selected for exhibition. To this day, Hatsuta-san continues to produce small sale, delicately crafted bamboo wares and utensils for tea ceremony at his studio in central Tokyo. Often working with old bamboo that has been colored naturally with age, his work is inspired by the technical and aesthetic sensibility of old bamboo artists and antique bamboo wares.
