Floating Sakura Matcha Whisk Holder

Cherry blossoms are striking in full bloom, yet each flower is quiet and fleeting. The Floating Sakura Matcha Whisk Holder reflects that quality in an understated way, capturing the moment just as petals begin to fall. The scattered blossoms, set against open space, create a composed and restrained impression. It brings a subtle sense of Japanese beauty to tea ceremonies and everyday moments alike.
This matcha whisk holder is crafted by Tosen Kiln, a longstanding Kyo ware kiln in Kyoto. It is a tool for maintaining the shape of a chasen, or matcha whisk, while it dries, preserving its durability and longevity. Once your whisk has dried, return it to its original container for best results.
Created as an original for MUSUBI KILN, this matcha whisk holder is available in two colorways: tokiiro pink and usuzumi gray. Tokiiro pink carries a soft, warm blush, while usuzumi gray introduces a calmer, more contemporary tone. The muted colors enhance the blossoms, lending them a fresh, delicate presence. Subtle detailing and varied glaze drips bring the design to life, from the pale yellow stamens to the pink tones layered across each petal. With its smooth finish, this piece carries an appeal that goes beyond the visual, drawing the hand almost instinctively.

Maker / Brand
Tosen Kiln embraces Kyoto’s traditional craftsmanship while adapting it for the modern era. Originally founded in 1868 as a Kiyomizu ware wholesaler, Tosen Kiln opened a ceramics production studio in 1944. Today, the kiln continues its legacy in Kyoto’s history-rich Gojo neighborhood.
Drawing inspiration from the precise wheel-throwing techniques and luminous paintings of Edo-period master potter Nonomura Ninsei, Tosen Kiln preserves this heritage while creating pieces that suit contemporary aesthetics.
