The basic role of the chashaku is to scoop the tea out of the tea caddy.
However, not just the tea caddy and bowl, but also the combination that matches the taste of the tea ceremony is required, so not just any kind will do.
It is a very profound tea utensil because you can get a glimpse of the personality and preferences of the tea master.
Some innkeepers are very particular about it, and some of them use it by reshaping it into their favorite shape.
Tea scoops are said to be the cornerstone of the tea ceremony, and one of their unique features is that each one is given a name.
There are various names associated with Japanese historical events, season words, materials, etc., and they are selected according to each tea ceremony.
Also, when you have finished drinking the tea, it is good manners for the invited guests to look at the host's tea utensils, including the tea scoop.
In this way, the chashaku plays an important role in the tea ceremony.
