Is this amount of bamboo fraying normal on a new Takayama chasen? Got it from superbrew.

Hey everyone, I just received a new Takayama chasen from Superbrew in India, and I noticed there are quite a lot of very fine bamboo fibers/frays sticking out from the tines.
I’ve attached some close-up photos. This is my first proper Takayama chasen, so I’m not sure what’s considered normal with handmade bamboo whisks.
Is this normal for a new chasen, or does this look like a finishing defect?
I haven’t used or trimmed it yet because I wanted to check with people who have experience with handmade chasen first.
Would really appreciate your opinions, especially from anyone who owns a Takayama chasen.

Fell in love with matcha so much that I decided to make it myself… and somehow ended up making my very first reel too. 🍵💚

Started my matcha journey this week and made this :)

I've always ordered matcha whenever I got the chance while traveling. Finally decided to bring that habit home. 🍵

I’m using Airpods pro 2 from quite a time but after all these years the ANC is shit I mean it’s really bad. So I’m wondering if I should switch to airpods pro 3? Any suggestions?
