@emdeesee That’s a pretty photo, but is there a reason you aren’t using the whisk holder this way?

@babelcarp Oh, no reason; that's just how I happened to put the chasen down, and it made a nice picture. (I know, I'll never perform a proper tea ceremony this way! 😁)

When I put everything away, the chasen was properly engaged with the stand.

@emdeesee Ah, good. I hope i didn’t come across as a knowitall—I was just afraid your chasen would die before its time.
