Chasen Naoshi (Kusenaoshi) in Graphite Grey – Metallic Speckled Matcha Whisk Stand

A good matcha ritual is about care — not just in preparation, but in how you look after your tools. The Chasen Naoshi in Graphite (also known as a Kusenaoshi or chasen stand) is designed to help your bamboo whisk dry properly and retain its delicate shape between uses.

This version features a deep graphite-toned glaze with subtle metallic silver specks, reminiscent of pencil lead. The finish catches the light softly, giving it a quiet shimmer against darker ceramics or neutral tea settings.

Placing your whisk onto a chasen stand after rinsing prevents the prongs from curling inward, extending the life of your bamboo whisk and keeping it ready for your next bowl. Functional, yes — but also beautifully considered. Pair with one of our matcha bowls and bamboo chasen to complete your tea ceremony set-up.

Why We Like It

The Graphite Chasen Naoshi feels quietly refined. The metallic flecks add depth and interest without being flashy, giving it a grounded, contemporary feel. It’s the kind of detail that elevates a simple shelf into something thoughtful and curated — while doing exactly what it’s meant to do.
