Shakuji-tsuki Chaire (Tea Container with Ear) by Johtetsu Yamaguchi, Nishijin-ori (brocade), with Tomobako (original box) *This item belonged to my family, who ran a Urasenke tea ceremony class. While I don't see any noticeable scratches or stains, I have no knowledge of tea ceremony or the tea world. Therefore, please be sure to check the photos for the item's condition and only purchase if you are fully satisfied. I would like to ask that only those who understand that this is a used item that has been stored at home for a long time purchase it. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfect item. *The lid appears to be a lacquered lid.
