Made by Teiichi Okeya This is a katatsuki tea caddy. With a matching box and shifuku (protective silk pouch). This item belonged to a relative who practiced the tea ceremony (Urasenke). I do not practice the tea ceremony, so I do not know the details. It was carefully stored at my parents' home, but I am selling it to declutter. I hope someone will find it useful. 【Size】 Height: Approximately 8 cm Body diameter: Approximately 6 cm *Please allow for some error due to amateur measurement. *I couldn't photograph it well, but the lining of the shifuku is not a bluish purple, but a deep, elegant color like brownish grape tea. To the untrained eye, there are no noticeable flaws, and I think it can be used without any problems. The matching box has damage such as scratches and discoloration, and there is a memo on the back of the box stating that it was purchased in 1960 [Image 16]. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. It has been stored in a place away from direct sunlight in my home. As it is a used item, there may be some signs of use commensurate with its age, but there are no noticeable scratches or chips, and I think it can still be used. Please understand that this is a used item that has been stored for approximately 65 years, and only those who can judge from the photos and understand the condition are requested to purchase. Please refrain from purchasing if you are nervous or looking for a beautiful, new item. Also, the color of the product may differ slightly from the actual color depending on the monitor and screen environment you are viewing. Please understand this in advance. #TeaCaddy #Katatsuki #KatatsukiTeaCaddy #TeaUtensils #TeiichiOkeya #Teiichi_Okeya #Teiichi #Shifuku #Urasenke #ShowaRetro #Antique
