Natsume, White Lacquered Japanese Tea Caddy With Carnations - Japan
Artist: Ikenoura Daiki
A matcha tea caddy (natsume) for the Japanese tea ceremony. Made of white lacquered wood decorated with high-quality makie lacquer carnation flowers in gold and red. White lacquer is extremely rare in Japanese lacquerware, especially for natsumes. For the tea ceremony, the tea master chooses objects according to the season, guests, and events. This natsume relates to autumn, as the carnation is one of the seven emblematic flowers of autumn in Japan. The Nadeshiko carnation symbolizes the ideal Japanese woman: beautiful, gentle, graceful, and strong. Artist: Daiki Ikenoura. Japan, 7.5 x 7.5 cm. With its original box signed by the artist. Note two tiny scratches on the top (see photos).
