Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、茶の湯(茶道)に使用する茶筅の構造に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年における茶道は、日本文化の一つの象徴となって繁栄の一途を歩いている。その茶道のための点前道具として、茶器、茶碗、茶灼、茶巾などとともに、茶筅がある。茶筅は、通常、白竹でできており、穂先の形態によって、真数穂、数穂、荒穂、煤保穂に分けられるが、基本的には、筒軸に取り付けた菊門状の茶じみを有する中子と、王冠状の穂先を有するもので、長い歴史をもつ茶道において完成された形態を有するものである。
【0003】
ところが、点前道具としての茶器類は多くの名器を擁しておりながら、茶筅は、単なる消耗品の域を出ないのが現状である。その原因は、全体が竹製であり、とくに、穂先に曲がり癖が発生したりして、その消耗が早いことにある。
【0004】
その消耗の程度を低減するための方策が、従来から種々提案されている。例えば、特許文献1には、茶筅の形を保持し、使用期間を延ばす「茶筅の癖直し器」が提案されているが、茶筅の使い易さを維持しつつその寿命を延ばすための本質的な解決手段にはなりえない。
【0005】
【特許文献1】
実用新案登録第3064684号公報
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明が解決しようとする課題は、従来からの竹製と同等の使い易さを有し、穂先に摩耗や変形やへたりを生じることなく、寿命を延ばすことができ、さらには、他の点前道具と比較してもその外観に違和感を生じることのない茶筅を提供することにある。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、筒軸と、それぞれ、この筒軸に取り付けため、じべ状の茶ずみ部を有する中子と、穂先部を有する王冠状キャップからなる茶筅であって、少なくとも穂先の先端部分を、茶立てに際して茶器の内面を傷めることのない程度の硬質材で形成したことを特徴とする。
【0008】
かかる硬質材としては、各種セラミック材、金属材を使用することができ、竹製の穂先、それも、消耗の激しい部分に接着その他の手段で取り付けることもできるが、製造上からは、それぞれ、茶じみを含めて中子全体と、穂先を含めて王冠状キャップ全体を金属製とするのがよい。
【0009】
さらに、組み立ての容易さと、見栄えの点とからは、筒軸を金属製、プラスチック製、または、陶磁器製とし、茶じみを有する中子と、王冠状の穂先を有するキャップを従来の竹製と同様の弾性を有する金属製とし、中子とキャップを筒軸と一体に組み立てて、従来の茶筅と同じ外形と機能を有する茶筅としたものである。
【0010】
使用する金属としては、全体を同一金属で作る場合は、従来の竹製の茶筅が点茶中に濡れた状態にあるときの全体の重さを持ち、穂先に加工成形したとき白竹と同様の弾力があり、しかも、点茶使用によって発錆し、変色することがなく、見た目で高級感のある金属、例えば、金、銀、白金類の貴金属又は貴金属合金、ステンレス鋼、白銅等が適している。
【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態を、本発明を真数穂の茶筅に適用した具体的な実施例に基づいて説明する。
【0012】
図1は本発明の茶筅を縦位置にして、左側半面にその側方から見た外観を示し、右側半面にその断面構造を示している。同図に示すように、本発明に係る茶筅10は、それぞれ別個に形成された陶磁器製の筒軸1と、先端に茶じみ21を持つ中子2と、王冠状の穂先31を有する金属製キャップ3とから構成されている。
【0013】
図2は筒軸の外観を示す。筒軸1は、2〜5mm厚で通常の竹製の軸と同様の40mmの高さと25mmの外径を持つ円筒状に形成された陶磁器からなり、その外面には、その生地を白色にするだけではなく、他の点前用具の色調とバランスを取るために、青磁としたり、その他、種々の図柄、模様等を施すのがよい。
【0014】
この筒軸1の上方から10mm程度の箇所には、中子2と金属製キャップ3のそれぞれの基部を固定するための段差11が形成されており、その段差11の立ち上がり面には、中子2の基部22をピン4(図1参照)で取り付けるためのピン挿着穴12が複数箇所(実施例では周方向に等間隔で6箇所)に穿設されている。
【0015】
中子2は、基本的には、従来の白竹製の茶じみと同様に、茶碗の中央の底に沈積気味の茶を拡散する機能を持つもので、先端の茶じみ21(図1参照)は、従来と同様の外形、大きさを持つが、その先端部分は、上方から見てめじべ状をなすように連結されているのがよい。
【0016】
図3は茶じみの具体的な構成を示し、(a)は平面図、(b)は部分斜視図である。同図に示すように、茶じみ21は多数の茶じみ線21aから構成されており、茶じみ線21aの基端は中子2の基部22に連結され、その先端にはリング部21bが形成されている。そして、隣接するリング部21bは、別部材の連結用リング21cで相互に連結されている。このように茶じみ線21aを1箇所に結ぶことなく連結用リング21cで隣接するリング部21bを連結することにより、茶を撹拌する際、従来の白竹製の茶じみに比べて茶のなじみが良くなり、また、リング部21bや連結用リング21cが擦れ合うことで、従来の白竹製の茶じみには見られないような爽やかな音色を発生させることができる。
【0017】
図4は金属製キャップをその上方から見た外観を示す。金属製キャップ3は、中子2を覆って取り付けられ、その上方に形成された王冠状の穂先31によって、中子2の茶じみ21によって底部から拡散された茶粉を、さらに、茶器内の白湯に均等に分散する機能を持つもので、中子2の高さとほぼ同様の高さを有する王冠状の穂先31を有する。穂先31の先端は菊紋状に結集させており、これによって、先端部の欠損曲折を防ぐとともに見た目が良くなるようにしている。
【0018】
上記別個に調製された筒軸1と、茶じみ21を有する金属製の中子2と、王冠状の穂先31を有する金属製キャップ3は、以下の要領で組み立てる。
【0019】
まず、筒軸1の上方に形成された段差11の外周面に中子2の基部22を被せる。そして、筒軸1に形成されたピン挿着穴12と中子2の基部22に形成されたピン装着穴23(図1参照)とを整合させてピン4を挿着することによって筒軸1に中子2を固定する。さらに、中子2の基部22の外周面にキャップ3の基部32を嵌着する。これによって、図1に示すような茶筅10が完成する。
【0020】
茶筅を構成する各部材の組み立て形式としては、上記実施例のほかに、それぞれの部材のネジ止め、嵌合、あるいは、紐状体による締結等、任意の形態を採用することができる。例えば、図5に示すように、一方の部材にL字状の係合溝5を設け、他方の部材に係合溝5と係合する係合突起6を設け、この係合突起6を係合溝5に合わせて回転させることによって部材同士を着脱可能に取り付けることができる。
【0021】
【発明の効果】
本発明に係る茶筅は、基本構造と使い勝手は従来の白竹製のものと同じでありながら、穂先の摩耗とへたりがなく、従来の単なる消耗品のイメージから脱却して、茶碗その他の点茶用の道具と同様の評価を受けるようになり、その商品価値も向上する。
【0022】
軸を陶磁器製とし、他の穂先などを貴金属製などとすることによって、他の用具と同様に美術品としても評価されるようになる。
【図面の簡単な説明】

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a structure of a chasen used for a tea ceremony (tea ceremony).
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, the tea ceremony has become a symbol of Japanese culture and is prospering. As tools for tea ceremony, there are tea whisks, as well as tea utensils, tea bowls, tea ceremony, and tea rags. Chasen is usually made of bamboo bamboo, and it is divided into several varieties, several varieties, several varieties, Araho, and Sohoho, depending on the shape of the spikes. And has a crown-shaped ear, and has a shape completed in a tea ceremony with a long history.
[0003]
However, tea utensils as a tool in front of the tea ceremony have many famous utensils, but the current situation is that chasen does not go beyond mere consumables. The cause is that the whole is made of bamboo, and in particular, the tip is bent and a habit is generated, and the consumption is fast.
[0004]
Various measures have been proposed in the past to reduce the degree of wear. For example, Patent Literature 1 proposes a "chasen rectifier" that retains the shape of a chasen and extends its use period, but is essential for extending the life of the chasen while maintaining its ease of use. It cannot be a great solution.
[0005]
