Kusenaoshi – Ceramic Chasen Holder – Kurai

Kusenaoshi "Kurai" – an essential element of the Japanese matcha preparation ritual 🍃

Preparing matcha tea 🍵 doesn’t end with whisking the drink. To ensure that the bamboo whisk – chasen – lasts as long as possible, it’s important to store it properly. Kusenaoshi, also known as chasentate, is a practical ceramic stand that helps maintain the proper shape of the chasen after it has been used and washed.

The name "Kurai" means "dark" in Japanese and accurately reflects the character of this accessory. Its dark, matte glaze with subtle light speckles resembles the surface of natural stone – or a starry night sky. 🌠 This elegant design makes the kusenaoshi "Kurai" not only a practical but also an aesthetically pleasing addition to your matcha-making set.

The stand pairs perfectly with the "Kurai" matchawan – together, they form a harmonious, balanced set inspired by Japanese minimalism and the philosophy of simplicity. ☯️
