Nara: Tea Ceremony & Tea Utensil Making by a Tea Whisk Maker

Discover the hidden charm of Takayama tea whisks and the traditional manufacturing methods passed down from generation to generation. The production of tea whisks began about 500 years ago in Takayama, a village rich in bamboo, at the request of Juko Murata, the founder of Wabicha (tea ceremony). Even today, most of the tea whisks produced in Japan are still made by hand in Takayama, using the same traditional methods.
