This is a vermilion and gold natsume (tea caddy) with the kao (signature) of the former head of the Omotesenke school, Sokuchusai, and a box inscription. I bought it because I wanted tea utensils with inscriptions for tea ceremonies, but I was too intimidated to use it, so I am offering it for sale. There are no noticeable scratches, but it is an antique tea utensil, so please purchase only if you understand this. To prevent product replacement issues, cancellations and returns are not accepted after purchase.
