Unboxing
The whisk is glued to the paper box, when you take it out, some paper will likely stick to the bottom of the whisk. Let the whisk sit in tepid water for 5 minutes, and after that you can easily remove the paper.
Initiation:
Before first use, let it set in hot water for a few minutes.
Hold it under running water before every use to have it damp.
Cleaning:
Carefully rinse it under running water. If needed, use your fingers to gently remove remaining matcha. Do not let the bamboo sit in water.
Do not use dishwasher, dryer or dish soap!
Storage:
Best way to store is on a Kusenaoshi (chasen holder) to help keep its shape. If you don’t have a holder, keep it looking upwards. Storing it that way may cause it to “close up”, straighten out. In that case, dampen it in running water and gently unfold it using your fingers. Never do that while dry!
Storing it in a too warm, dry place might cause the bamboo to split.
Lifespan:
The lifespan of a chasen depends very much on how it is handled and how frequently it is used. As soon as the ends of the straws start to break off, we recommend purchasing a new one, for the ends can even break off while preparing matcha.

Very good chasen. The 2cm diameter of the handle is just right for whisking, and grips easily.

Not only is this Chasen beautiful it also does a very good job of whisking, much better than the cheap Chinese ones more readily available. It is a full-size chasen so make sure your bowl is big enough to comfortably use it.

I study Japanese tea ceremony and I recommend this chasen to all the matcha lovers! The strings are thin and soft but surprisingly resistant. It's easy to handle and clean and, most of all, I could make an extraordinary frothy foam! The dark color of bamboo makes it really elegant as well.
