There is no major damage. Size: 13 x 7.8 cm This is a "Chakin-dai (Chakin-otoshi)" preferred by the 14th Urasenke Iemoto, Tantansai. It is a tea utensil used in the thick tea ceremony to place the "ko-chakin" (small tea cloth) used to clean the rim of the tea bowl. It features a design that combines practicality, allowing used tea cloths to be dropped inside through the crescent-shaped opening. It is believed to be a work of the third generation Yuuken Iwaki (Shusai). (Not authenticated, so it is uncertain) He is a famous woodworker from Kyoto, a master craftsman who received the name "Shusai" from Tantansai. As a Urasenke supplier, he has produced many items of preference. It is finished with a calm, deep "Tame-nuri" (puddle lacquer), a lacquerware that gains more flavor the more it is used. Shipping is planned via Sagawa Express (or Mercari delivery depending on the location). Free shipping. We will pack it so it won't break, so please rest assured. We may suddenly cancel the listing.
