Wahoido by Tango Tanimura Sumo
Chasen Nara, Takayama, has a history that has been founded at the Muomachi period, and has a history that has been said to be a permanent for over 500 years. Tanimuraya is the home of Chasen Shii who has continued to convey the tradition of the skills of the first child through their phase of genius. Tanimuraya Chasen has finally gone into "easy to use and durable chasen". Easy to use, the tip is flexible and elastic. In addition, durability is literally long lasting. But these two elements are conflict. You must shave the tip as thin as possible to make the tip flexible, but the thinner the more durable it weakens. Balancing these two in a high level is the most challenging point of Tanimura is the ultimate technique cultivated by Tanimuraya for 500 years. Chasen making is called "Art of Fingerprint" because it performs most of its only with a small blade and fingertips. However, Tagimura techniques that rely on the fine sensation of the fingertips and balances in the most demanding areas. Chasen produced by Tango Tanigura, is not a product anymore. It is a "work".
