What a wonderful and memorable experience! Tea scoops are used to transfer powdered tea from the tea container to the guest’s tea bowls. Tea masters in Japan have traditionally carved their own bamboo chashaku, providing them with a bamboo storage tube (tsutsu) as well as a poetic name (mei 銘) that will often be inscribed on the storage tube. The selection of the chashaku for use at a chanoyu gathering will largely depend on its poetic name. Tea masters will use the same chashaku for decades and then bequeath them to their apprentices. Thus adding immeasurable value and provenance to a simple bamboo spoon. The tea scoops are mostly made out of bamboo. The bamboo are harvested when they are 3 year-old and then dry for 3 more years before being cut and shaped into spoons. Funny poetic and symbolic detail: the bamboos can be cut at any time of the year, but they have to be cut during low tide. The bamboo for our spoons came from Kyushu, where sensei is originally from (though he now teaches in Kyoto and gives lectures all around the country). At the end of the workshop, sensei named each spoon. We were allowed to chose the method of selection, but the tea ceremony sensei always choses the final name for his students’ tea scoops. It was either a codified name according to the season or an original name chosen by sensei after observing the characteristics and qualities of each spoon (and even checking the way they balance). Masako and I both went with the second method. It was a little exciting to wonder how the shape of our spoon would inspire our sensei. Mine was named after the scenic and sacred Nachi waterfalls😍❤️. I was really happy, as one of my favorite scrolls is the one with the kanji for waterfall which turns into the drawing 宗貴(@ohmae00)がシェアした投稿 - 2020年Feb月5日pm6時58分PST
