Thank you for viewing. This is an Ichii Itto-bori (one-knife carving) natsume (tea caddy) made from Ichii wood, a Hida craft. A natsume is a tea utensil used to store matcha (thin tea) and is brought out in front of guests when preparing tea. It is named after the resemblance to the fruit of the natsume plant (jujube). Approximate dimensions are 65mm in diameter and 68mm in height. The approximate dimensions of the accompanying box are 75mm wide, 75mm long, and 75mm high. It is a new, unused item and has been carefully stored, so the condition is good. The accompanying box is a paper box, so there are some damage, scratches, and discoloration due to long-term storage. Please check the photos and consider purchasing if you understand that it is a used item. I hope that those who like it will find it useful. Thank you. #natsume #tea caddy #tea utensils #Hida crafts #Ichii wood #one-knife carving m319
