Vintage Chashaku Tea Scoop, Kurokaki, Dokuo, Japanese Black Persimmon,
This Chashaku was made by Dokuo, a friend of ours and a tea enthusiast rather than a professional craftsperson.
The Chashaku is made of Kurokaki (Japanese black persimmon), a wood valued for its distinctive dark grain. It has a substantial feel and is slightly heavier than a typical bamboo Chashaku.
It comes with its original bamboo tube and Tomobako (original signed paulownia box).
