Description

Premium matcha container
— handcrafted in Japan.

In the Japanese tea tradition, every detail matters.
Natsume haru-aki is not just a container — it is an object of quiet contemplation, carrying the philosophy of time within.

Handcrafted by Japanese lacquerware artisans, this refined natsume is adorned with motifs of spring and autumn — haru-aki 春秋 — symbolizing the fleeting beauty of nature.
Its lid is finished with shimmering golden accents and mother-of-pearl inlay, adding subtle depth and elegance to each line.

The artist offers two distinct lid variations — each with its own mood, atmosphere, and rhythm.
By simply changing the lid, the entire feeling of the ceremony transforms, reflecting the season, the presence of a guest, or one’s inner state.
One natsume — many expressions.

The natsume is presented in a traditional paulownia wood box (kiribako), signed by the artisan in brush calligraphy — a gesture of respect toward both the object and the person who will use it.

Intended for storing ceremonial-grade matcha, this vessel protects the tea from light and moisture, preserving its freshness, aroma, and silence.

An ideal choice for those who seek not just utensils, but a ritual expressed through form.
