Thank you for viewing. #P_LABO_AllItems This is a valuable tea utensil collection from my grandmother, who practiced the tea ceremony. Unused, stored item. The box is not in good condition. I hope you will use it for lessons or practice. Artist Name: Product Name: Natsume (Tea Caddy) Kiln/Name of Ware: Size: Height 6.5cm, Diameter 6cm This is a tea utensil called a "natsume," a container for matcha (thin tea). In particular, due to its rounded shape, it is considered a "chunatsume" (medium-sized tea caddy). Below is a summary of information about this tea container. Usage: Mainly used in the tea ceremony as a container for thin tea. Shape and Name: Named "natsume" because it resembles the fruit of the natsume (jujube) tree. Types: There are various sizes of natsume, such as large, medium, and small. The medium size is favored for casual tea gatherings and in warmer seasons. Material and Decoration: Made of lacquered wood, often decorated with maki-e (sprinkled picture) and other techniques. The item in the image also has a fan maki-e design. I am also listing other tea utensils. I offer discounts for combined purchases, so please contact me if you are interested. #TeaUtensils #SennoRikyu #Natsume #P_LABO_AllItems
