Susudake is bamboo that is taken from old straw-thatched house ceilings where it has changed to an auburn color by absorbing the smoke of the ‘irori’ hearth over many decades or even centuries. This natural golden-brown color makes it a very admirable and desired item.

How to take care of your chashaku

Nakata Kizo, whisk maker and bamboo craftsman Nakata Kizo was born 1940 in Takayama, Ikoma, Nara prefecture. Though he was the son of a rice farmer, at the age of 14 he was sent to acquire skillful hands by learning to make whisks at an apprentice public service. After 6 years of study, he continued to learn various remaining techniques before becoming independent at the age of 25. In 1975 he founded the Nakata Kizo cooperation. Presently about half of Japan's whisks are produced by his company.
