Natsume named after its resemblance with the natsume (jujube) fruit, this tea caddy has a flat lid and a rounded base. Generally made of lacquered or unprocessed wood, it is used for usucha (thin tea) ceremonies. Regarded as a high-ranking tea implement, the natsume is consequently ritually cleansed with the fukusa (silk cloth).
