Good condition. Description： This natsume is a small, rounded wooden tea caddy coated in deep black lacquer, its surface subtly showing the natural grain beneath the polish. On the lid, the vermilion characters 和乐 (wareki / waraku) are written in a bold, free calligraphic style. The phrase “和乐” can be translated as “harmony and joy”, expressing a spirit of peaceful contentment and quiet delight—an ideal sentiment within the philosophy of the tea ceremony, where simplicity and inner harmony are cherished. The contrast between the black lacquer and the vermilion characters gives the piece a striking yet tranquil presence. The form itself is compact and balanced, with gentle curves that fit comfortably in the hand. The surface’s soft sheen and visible wood texture reveal the warmth of natural material beneath layers of urushi lacquer. This natsume would likely be used for usucha (thin tea) in an informal setting, where its understated elegance and poetic inscription remind participants of the essence of tea: calmness, respect, and shared joy.
