Description： This elegant Japanese lacquer tea caddy (natsume) features a refined bamboo design executed in fine maki-e on a deep black ground. The bamboo stalks and leaves are rhythmically arranged around the body and lid, rendered in warm gold and muted brown tones that stand out gently against the glossy lacquer surface. The motif of bamboo—long associated with integrity, flexibility, and quiet strength—makes this piece especially appropriate for use in the tea ceremony, where symbolic meaning and restraint are highly valued. The form is well proportioned, with a smooth cylindrical body and a gently rounded lid that fits securely. The interior is finished in plain lacquer, emphasizing practicality and cleanliness for holding matcha. The tea caddy is accompanied by its original wooden storage box (tomobako), inscribed and tied with a cloth ribbon, underscoring its careful presentation. Both functional and contemplative, this natsume embodies the understated beauty central to Japanese tea culture. NOTICE
