Description

The Yoshita Kasho Glass Natsume Matcha Container features the Korin Streams motif, inspired by the renowned Rinpa school painter Ogata Korin. This design beautifully captures the fluidity and grace of water, a signature element in Korin's art.

The water lines are intricately painted with black lacquer, each stroke delicately detailed and highlighted with silver powder, creating a fascinating effect. The depiction of bubbles is masterfully achieved through the inlay of mother-of-pearl shells, adding an element of sophistication.

The lid, crafted from keyaki "zelkova" wood and finished using the fukiurushi "wiped lacquer" technique, complements the glass body, enhancing its overall charm and elegance.

Designed for durability, the gold leaf is protected by a glass layer, making it resistant to scratches and suitable for everyday use. Unlike typical glassware used mainly in summer, this tea caddy's comprehensive decoration allows it to be a delightful addition to tea sessions in any season.

The thickness of the glass enhances the brilliance of the gold and silver foil, contrasting beautifully with the green of the matcha, offering a unique aesthetic experience. This tea caddy has gained popularity as an innovative alternative in tea ceremonies, blending modernity with the timeless elegance of Japanese tea culture.

Gold

Gold was first discovered in Japan in the eighth century. Emperor Shomu (701 CE–756 CE) used it extensively to gild Buddha statues. The color gold came to evoke a sense of sacredness, nobility, and luxury. Japan places great emphasis on the sense of seasons, and gold is often associated with the bountiful autumn and the New Year, conveying a festive and auspicious atmosphere.

Real gold powder and paint is used in traditional Japanese decorative techniques like maki-e and kinsai for a brilliance and luxurious feel that only this material can bring.
