This is a chashaku (tea scoop) "Muichimotsu" by Zen Master Kaido Fujii of Daisenin Temple, the 515th Abbot of Daitoku-ji Temple. Master Kaido was the 515th Abbot of Daitoku-ji Temple. The hanging scrolls and chashaku of the abbot are highly regarded in the tea ceremony and are considered to be of high formality, often used in tea gatherings. This valuable chashaku is carved from now-rare susudake (smoked bamboo). The tip of the scoop is carved in a straightforward manner befitting "Muichimotsu" (or Muitsubutsu), and has a wabi-sabi aesthetic. - In beautiful condition. - Comes with a matching tube, a matching box, and a matching box cover. Thank you for viewing.
