Made in Japan – Toratake Bamboo Chawan-tsutsu (Tea Bowl Holder)
This is a introduction of a bamboo chawan-tsutsu (tea bowl holder) made in Japan.
A chawan-tsutsu is a small cylinder used to hold a small tea bowl for sencha (green tea) ceremonies. Depending on the style, it typically holds between five to ten tea bowls stacked inside.
To facilitate easy access, a portion of the front is open vertically. While this chawan-tsutsu isn’t particularly large, the bamboo weaving is very intricate, with reinforced areas at the rim and base, showcasing remarkable craftsmanship.
The outer surface is made from bamboo skin, giving it a smooth finish. This holder uses “toratake” bamboo, which has a mix of brown hues, creating a natural pattern that evokes a sense of wabi-sabi.
The tea bowls used in sencha ceremonies are slightly smaller, as they are designed to savor the sweetness and umami of high-quality tea leaves rather than to quench thirst. The small size allows one to sip the tea slowly, appreciating its flavors.
Additionally, it is customary to brew the same tea leaves multiple times—first, second, and third infusions—allowing the taste to change with each brew, which is another reason for the smaller bowl size.
Please ensure that the tea bowls you use are smaller in diameter than the inner diameter of this chawan-tsutsu.
Outer diameter (top): 8 cm
Inner diameter (top): 7 cm
Height: 12 cm
Material: Bamboo
这是介绍一款日本制造的竹制碗筒。
碗筒是用于煎茶道等场合的小型容器，主要用来放置煎茶碗。
根据流派的不同，通常可以叠放5到10个碗在里面。
为了方便取出，前面的一部分是竖着开的。
这个碗筒本身并不大，但竹子的编织方式非常精细，特别是上部的口和脚的部分，都经过了加固，体现了工匠的技艺。
由于表面使用了竹子的表皮，因此非常光滑。
这个筒碗采用了所谓的“虎竹”，其中混有一些棕色的竹子，自然的纹理营造出一种雅致的氛围。
在煎茶道中使用的煎茶碗相对较小，因为它们使用的是高档茶叶。
这并不是为了解渴，而是为了品味茶叶的甘甜和美味，通常是少量的茶慢慢品尝。
另外，使用同样的茶叶，每次冲泡一煎、二煎、三煎，茶的味道会发生变化，这也是碗小的原因之一。
需要使用直径小于这个碗筒内径的煎茶碗放入其中。
