The matcha whisk holder (which is called a "kusenaoshi" in Japan) is the utensil recommended by tea masters (experts) to hold a bamboo matcha whisk (which is called a "chasen" in Japan). It has been used in Japan and China for almost a millennium. The matcha whisk holder is the proper way to dry your bamboo matcha whisk after washing it. The matcha whisk holder will restore and maintain the correct shape and optimal function of your bamboo matcha whisk. This matcha whisk holder is suitable for most bamboo matcha tea whisks (whisks with 120 prongs, 100 prongs, 80 prongs and 70 prongs). Made of porcelain. Premium quality.
