Made of bamboo, the ladles are used in the tea ceremony to measure out the amount of water for a bowl of matche tea and to scoop the hot water out of the tea kettle. The hishaku are small works of art in their simplicity. According to legend, a bow maker made the first hishaku. The samurai are said to have wielded the hishaku in the same manner as they placed an arrow on the bow. When the water is put into the chawan on the matcha, the tea masters still make the same hand movement as the samurai did when shooting the arrow.
