Description

 

This "Natsume" is lacquered with a technique called "tame-urushi," in which a base coat of vermilion is applied and finished with a coat of translucent lacquer over it, so that the reddish color increases with time. The chic colors are well suited to the dignified bamboo grass and paulownia tree paintings.

A "natsume" is a type of container for powdered matcha. It is not used for storage, but for holding powdered matcha for use at tea ceremonies. When pouring matcha into a "natsume", do not put it directly into the "natsume", but first sift it into a different container using a tea strainer. This is because matcha tends to become lumpy due to static electricity, and if you brew matcha with lumps, it will not be pleasant to the palate.

Just by placing it on a dining table or a cupboard, it becomes an eye-catching decorative item. Also, depending on your ideas, it would be great to put not only Matcha powder but also other small items in it.

To avoid moisture, do not wash in water. We recommend cleaning with a soft cloth or brush.
