Introducing a precious full set of vintage Japanese tea ceremony tools, brimming with traditional Japanese aesthetics and spirit. This comprehensive collection provides everything you need to prepare authentic matcha tea in your own home, offering foreign tea ceremony enthusiasts and collectors a wonderful opportunity to experience the profound depth of Japanese culture.

This set includes the following items, each showcasing exquisite craftsmanship:

Yakigiri Shikishi Tansu (Burnt Paulownia Paper Cabinet): A beautiful cabinet crafted from burnt paulownia wood, perfect for carefully storing your tea utensils. Its elegant design seamlessly blends into any Japanese-style space.

Kensui (Wastewater Bowl): Used for discarding hot water after whisking matcha. The calm, green glaze of this bowl brings a serene atmosphere to the tea ceremony.

Chawan (Tea Bowls - 2 pieces):

A warm, ceramic tea bowl suitable for all seasons. It features a comfortable form that fits well in the hand and a rich, tasteful glaze.

A "Chawan Natsu" (Summer Tea Bowl) designed to add a refreshing touch to summer tea ceremonies. Its thin construction and appearance evoke a sense of coolness.

Wooden Makie Natsume (Lacquerware Tea Caddy): This wooden natsume (tea caddy) is adorned with beautiful makie (gold lacquer work) and is used for holding matcha powder. It allows you to appreciate delicate Japanese traditional craftsmanship.

Kamakura-bori Kogo (Kamakura Carving Incense Container): A small container for incense, crafted using the Kamakura-bori carving technique, which enhances the ambiance of the tea ceremony.

Chasen (Bamboo Whisk): An essential tool for mixing matcha evenly and creating a beautiful foam. It is meticulously crafted by skilled bamboo artisans.

Shimi-dake (Wetted Bamboo): Used for cleaning the chashaku (tea scoop) or in the mizuya (preparation area).

Chashaku (Bamboo Tea Scoop): Used for scooping matcha powder into the tea bowl. Its natural bamboo texture is highly appealing.

Seiken Fukusa (Silk Cloth): A high-quality silk cloth used for purifying tea utensils or during the viewing (haiken) process.

Each of these tools holds its own history and story, embodying the dedication of the artisans who created them. They are exquisite pieces that will deepen in character with use and can be cherished for many years.
