This is a Wajima-nuri tea scoop purchased in 1995 (31 years ago). It has been kept unused. The storage condition was poor, and the ink writing on the box is faded, making the artist's name unreadable. There is also no string. The tea scoop is in a beautiful, unused condition. It was purchased at a considerable price. - Color: Vermilion lacquer with Tsubo-tsubo maki-e (sprinkled design) - Material: Bamboo - Storage Box: Wooden box The box size is approximately 21.7 x 3.5 x 3.5 cm (length x width x thickness).
