Chashaku Tea Scoop for Tea Ceremony Red Laquered Back w/ Box Jar The edges of this plateThis is a used Chashaku previously owned by a frequent tea practitioner. Includes signed box. The Chashaku is the simple bamboo tea scoop used to transfer powdered green tea from the caddie to the tea bowl during tea ceremony. As its function is one of the most pivotal points in the ritual, it occupies a special roll as a work of art within itself. This one has an exposed bamboo scoop with a red lacquered back with hand painted "shumari" (kick balls)
