Today, fewer than 20 master craftsmen continue this centuries old tradition in whole of Japan. Among them is Mr. Tanimura, Suikaen's 25th generation master craftsman, who has led the workshop since 1970.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMr. Tanimura is also one of the only 16 or so remaining chasen masters in Japan. These whisks are made from locally grown bamboo in the small village of Takayama, famed as the only chasen making village in Japan. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike massproduced matcha whisks, these chasen are entirely handmade, without the use of machines or chemicals to expedite the bamboo growing, drying, or shaping processes, requiring immense time and skill to craft. As such, Takayama chasen have finer, more flexible tines and a greater attention to detail, which not only makes them more beautiful, but also easier and more enjoyable to use and more durable in the long run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore First Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore using for the first time, gently soak only the prongs in hot water.
