Thank you for viewing! This is a natsume (tea caddy) from Konrin-ji Temple. The body is a deep, dark brown color with a lustrous finish that gives it an elegant impression. The lid and the rim of the mouth are the same color as the body, creating a calm and unified design. The body has no noticeable scratches or stains and is in beautiful condition. It comes with an outer box, but the box has "Konrin-ji" written on it in pen. This item is recommended for both tea ceremony practice and for collection. It has been carefully stored, but it is a long-term home storage item, so we ask for your understanding of the condition. *Please note that due to my irregular work schedule, replies and shipping may be delayed. I will be sure to contact you in advance in such cases. #teaceremonyutensils #natsume #Konrinji #teaware #usuchaki #chairi #teaceremony #teaceremonypractice #teagathering #okekoproperties #chanoyu #withkyobako #beautifulitem #lacquerware #traditionalcrafts #madeinjapan #japaneselife #darkbrown #teaceremonycollection #teaceremonysales
