Wooden cylindrical yubotsubo natsume, perfect as a tea utensil with a box. - Material: Wood - Shape: Cylindrical - Size: 6.5cmφ x 7cm (H) "Tsubotsubo natsume" refers to a tea utensil "natsume" (tea caddy) with a special "tsubotsubo" pattern (similar to a family crest) drawn on it, characterized by a design of two overlapping circles. This is a design particularly favored by the head of the Urasenke school (Kon'unsai's preference), and it is said to have been inspired by a pot-shaped earthenware vessel by Genpaku Sotan. It is used as a container for thin tea (usucha) matcha for everyday use. Thank you for viewing.
