Matcha Ceremony
CHASHAKU
In Japanese, chashaku literally translates as tea scoop. The chashaku was a Chinese innovation intended as a dispensing spoon made of metal or ivory. When the spoon design was introduced to Japan in the Muromachi period (circa the 14th and 15th century), it was utilized specifically as a tea powder spoon. However, the ivory ones were too delicate and the metal spoons were too wide. Nowadays most standard chashakus are made of a narrow piece carved from bamboo.
