Vollständige Details anzeigen

The Hanamaru Hira-natsume (flat tea caddy) is finished in high-gloss black lacquer and decorated with delicate gold maki-e floral crest motifs (Hanamaru 花丸). Each side reveals a different seasonal flower, arranged in circular roundels that reflect the rhythm of nature throughout the year.

The low, wide form of the hira-natsume is traditionally used in the preparation of usucha (thin tea), especially in more formal or elegant settings. Its intricate maki-e details and balanced composition make it both a functional utensil for tea practice and a collectible decorative piece.

Care Instructions

- Handle with clean, dry hands to avoid oils transferring to the lacquer.
- Do not wash with water or detergent — instead, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
- Avoid direct sunlight, high humidity, or extreme temperature changes, as these may damage the lacquer.
- Do not place near heat sources or open flames.
- Store in its wooden box when not in use to protect from dust and scratches.
- Over time, a natural patina may develop on the lacquer surface — this is considered part of its beauty and history.
