About

A chasen is cut from a single piece of bamboo into dozens of fine prongs. These prongs need to stay flexible and slightly open to move well through matcha. Left to dry on a flat surface, they can close inward, bend unevenly or remain damp where air cannot circulate.

The whisk stand gives the chasen a shape to rest over after rinsing. As the bamboo dries, the curved surface supports the prongs in their natural position and allows air to reach them. It does not prevent normal wear, though it helps the whisk dry more evenly and retain its form between uses.

ORIGAMI has reworked the traditional chasen holder as a simple porcelain object made in Japan. Turned one way, it supports the whisk with the prongs facing down. Turned over, the smaller opening holds the handle upright, useful while the bowl and other tools are being prepared.

At only 6 cm wide, the stand takes up little room and can remain beside the matcha bowl. Its restrained shape sits naturally with both traditional and contemporary teaware.
