Naoshi (Matcha Whisk Holder)

An essential accessory for anyone using a chasen (matcha whisk), the naoshi (chasen-holder) preserves the shape of the whisk while enabling it to dry properly. In fact, drying a chasen upside down with the handle on a table increases the risk of surplus moisture in the base, where the fine fronds bind to the bamboo handle. The chasen is sold separately.
