Description from the seller

This is a traditional Japanese Natsume (tea caddy) for matcha, crafted by the lacquer artist Yoshu, titled Shunju Natsume (Spring and Autumn Tea Caddy), complete with its original paulownia wood storage box.

Made of wood with a glossy black lacquer base, adorned with maki-e (gold lacquer painting) and raden (mother-of-pearl inlay) techniques.
The lid features delicate plum blossom motifs with gold lines, and the inlaid mother-of-pearl petals create an iridescent, shimmering effect when catching light.
It comes with an interchangeable secondary lid: a vermilion lacquer lid with a black chrysanthemum pattern, allowing you to switch the look to match different tea ceremony themes or seasons.

Dimensions: Approximately 8.5cm in diameter and 6cm in height.


Ensure safe packaging and trackable shipping.
The shipping cost includes all customs duties; there will be no additional charges.
