Description

This Chakoboshi Tea Waste Container made by Seigado, a metalworking workshop in Niigata Prefecture, features a golden brown color. Each piece is handmade using the traditional hammering technique of "Tsuiki". The ground color of the copper is accented with small flowers.

In the world of the tea ceremony, the time spent putting tea leaves and hot water into a teapot and waiting for the tea to be served is also considered time spent with loved ones. In matcha and Sencha tea ceremonies, the utensils are brought out in front of the guests, and the tea is served in front of them. This is an expression of the spirit of hospitality which the master himself prepares and serves the tea for his guests.

With "Chakoboshi", you can serve tea to all guests without having to go to the different room to dispose of hot water and tea leaves. It is an item that makes you appreciate the world of tea more deeply.

Maker / Brand

Seigado

Seigado’s workshop is located at the foot of Mt. Yahiko in Niigata Prefecture, where high-quality copper was discovered about 300 years ago. This region is where the traditional tsuiki metalworking technique finds its roots.
In Japan, there's a saying that things get better with use, and Seigado's products possess a charm that inspires you to cherish and care for them over time.

Crafts

Metalwork

Metalwork has long been prized for its durability and gorgeous appearance. In Japan, bronze swords and harnesses were made from the Yayoi period (10th century BCE–mid-3rd century CE) based on techniques introduced from China and Korea. With the rise of Buddhism, the construction of temples, Buddhist statues, and ritual implements flourished, and metalworking techniques also advanced. Eventually, a wide variety of products such as tea ceremony utensils, Japanese swords, armor, and ornaments came to be manufactured.
