This folding tea scoop (chashaku) is crafted from brass, designed to let you carry your favorite tea set wherever you go.
The supple curves, created by hammering and bending the metal, possess a dignified beauty distinct from traditional bamboo.

Of particular note is the exquisite hinge mechanism, a testament to the artist’s mastery as a metalworker.
Its smooth, folding structure makes packing a tabibako (travel box) or chakago (tea basket) both functional and delightful.
The muted luster unique to brass will develop a deeper patina with use, as if etching the memories of your journeys into the metal itself.
This piece embodies a spirit of freedom — allowing one to enjoy tea anywhere, perfectly attuned to a modern lifestyle.

Each piece is handcrafted individually.
Please appreciate the variations in color, shape, and size between the photograph and the actual item you receive as a unique characteristic of the work.
