Japanese Natsume Tea Caddy | Tame-Nuri Urushi Lacquer | Wari-Buta Split Lid | Kinran Shifuku Pouch | Chanoyu Matcha Container
$40.00
A rare ko-natsume (小棗) matcha caddy in warm tame-nuri (溜塗) urushi lacquer — the deep burgundy-red finish that reveals the woodgrain beneath like light through amber. The wari-buta (割蓋) split lid opens in two halves, a sophisticated variant seldom seen outside serious tea collections. Presented in its original shifuku (仕服) of multicolored kinran silk brocade with gold-thread motifs, rust-orange braided cord — a complete, museum-quality chadōgu set ready for the tokonoma.
