Product description

This matcha tea caddy is a work of art in its own right. Hand-carved from precious wood with deep mahogany and reddish-brown highlights, it is inspired by the shape of the persimmon, the iconic fruit of the Japanese autumn and a symbol of longevity and good fortune. Every precision-carved rib and every vein on the leaf-shaped lid testifies to a rare, patient craftsmanship driven by genuine poetic intention.

>The chosen wood, with its particularly rich grain, reveals darker areas within the carved recesses that accentuate the relief and give the piece a striking visual depth. The understated cylindrical handle contrasts with the exuberance of the carved lid, creating that quintessentially Japanese balance between expression and restraint.

>To hold this caddy in your hands is to feel the tool's work in the wood, to sense the hours spent carving, polishing, and revealing. Only one available, a unique piece with no equal, and never to have one.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the persimmon shape of this pot symbolise?

The kaki (persimmon) is an emblematic fruit of the Japanese autumn, a symbol of longevity and good fortune.

Can I clean it with water?

No, clean it only with a soft, dry cloth, without water or products, and never immerse it.

Does the carved wood need care?

Yes, apply a very light coat of natural oil (camellia or walnut) once or twice a year, avoiding prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

How to use it?

A natsume is a small Japanese tea container named after the jujube, whose shape it echoes. It holds matcha.
What it is for: it protects the powder from air and light and sits on the tea tray. It is also an object worth displaying.
Keep matcha in it, away from light, humidity and odours.
Clean only with a soft, dry cloth, with no water or product. Never immerse it.
Once or twice a year, apply a very light natural oil (camellia or walnut) to nourish the wood. Avoid prolonged direct sun, which would alter the colours.
Set it on a ceremony tray or a shelf: it is as much for looking at as for using.
Idea: set it on your tea tray with the bowl and the chasen, so everything is within reach.
Good to know: always close the lid after use and keep it away from light and heat.
