Buyer Note

The Natsume is a high-ranking tea utensil used in usucha (thin tea) ceremonies. Its name comes from its resemblance to the jujube (natsume) fruit. It features a flat lid and rounded base and is traditionally made of lacquered wood. In tea ceremony practice, the Natsume is ritually cleansed with a fukusa (silk cloth) before use.

Authenticity Note

Handmade Japanese Makie Natsume; no maker mark or signature observed in source listing.

Care Note

Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, direct sunlight, and extreme temperature changes, which can affect lacquer surfaces.

Condition: GOOD

Notes:
Small chip on rim of mouth (see final photo). Minor surface scratches throughout. Offered at a significant discount due to the rim chip. Please review all photos before purchasing.
