Traditional Japanese lacquered wooden tea caddy hand-turned from a single piece of cherry birch. Finished with multiple layers of natural black urushi lacquer polished to a deep, lustrous sheen. The compact Natsume-style design features a slightly thicker inner lacquer layer that helps preserve freshness of matcha and other powdered teas. Each piece is unique with subtle variations in wood grain and lacquer texture. Ideal for tea ceremony enthusiasts and collectors of Japanese craft.
