Product Details

History of Takayama Chasen

Born in Takayama in Ikoma, Nara Prefecture, about 500 years ago during the Muromachi period. It is said that the tea master Murata Juko, who is said to be the founder ofWabi-cha, requested the production of a stirring tool suitable for the tea ceremony, and that it was created by Takayama Minbu-Irimichi Sosui.

After that, the Takayama Chasen that was created was presented to Emperor Gotomimon. He was extremely pleased with it, and received the name of "Takashi" from the emperor. Soseki was honored and worked hard to makechasenand improve his skills, and the manufacturing method became the story of the Takayama family. After that, when the Takayama family moved, the remaining 16 vassals entrusted the production of thechasen.
