Buyer Note

In Japanese tea culture, a chazutsu is a lidded caddy used to store loose-leaf tea or matcha. This piece is inspired by the mingei (folk art) tradition and embodies wabi-sabi, the philosophy of finding beauty in natural imperfection. The natsume form, with its flat lid and rounded base, is traditionally associated with usucha (thin tea) ceremonies.

Authenticity Note

Authentic vintage Japanese studio woodwork. No maker's mark or signature observed. Not a formal lacquered natsume; this is a rustic chazutsu-style caddy with a natural bark exterior.

Care Note

Wipe clean with a dry or barely damp cloth. Avoid prolonged moisture contact. Not dishwasher safe.

Condition: EXCELLENT

Notes:
Excellent condition. Notable chip on the underside of the base, clearly shown in photos and reflected in the price. The jar is stable and the chip is not highly visible when displayed. Please review all photos and video for full condition details.
