Furo Hishaku (Summer Bamboo Tea Ladle)

The Furo Hishaku is a traditional bamboo ladle used in Japanese tea ceremony during the warmer months, when the portable brazier (furo) is used.

Slightly shorter than a ro (winter) ladle, it is designed to suit the higher position of the kettle in furo settings, allowing for more natural and graceful movements. Its lighter feel supports the refined, airy atmosphere characteristic of summer tea practice.

Crafted from natural bamboo, this ladle offers smooth control when handling hot water and reflects the seasonal sensitivity at the heart of chanoyu.
