Hi Guys!!!
This video introduces the process of making a tea whisk. Ultimate Japanese hospitality tool inherited from 500 years ago. Although mass production is the norm in recent days, all matcha whisks are made by craftsmen, and they can only make about 5 tea whisks in a day.
The process of making a tea whisk consists of splitting bamboo cut to about 10 cm in length into more than 100 pieces with a special blade, shaving it, and weaving the threads to complete the process.
All of these processes are done by hand and fingers, without the use of machines.

▶Craftsman Profile
Keiichiro Tanimura / Suikaen
After graduating from high school, Keiichiro Tanimura left his hometown to study in the U.S. and worked in a Japanese company. However, with a desire to "contribute to my hometown by taking over the family business that has been passed down from generation to generation," I started my apprenticeship as a tea whisk master under my father, the third generation Suikaen master.
▶Craftsman Passion
"One matcha whisk for each family"
In order to make the tea whisk more familiar to people, we have been producing new types of tea whisks such as using colorful threads or adding charms to the whisks, while keeping the traditional manufacturing method, overcoming my father's objection.
We want to make the tea whisk so familiar in daily life that people in Nara always have a tea whisk in their homes. Our goal is to have one in every household!
Please enjoy watching the Japanese craftsmanship!!!!
