This is a chasen (tea whisk) from Takayama-do in Takayama, Nara. Rare medium-coarse bristles. Size: Approximately 11.5cm x 6.3cm The tips of the bristles are slightly disordered, and a few of the fine bristles in the center are broken. It appears to have been used a few times. The box also has stains. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. This is a used item that has been stored in a warehouse, but it can still be used. Please consider this with the above in mind. Thank you.
