This bamboo natsume (matcha caddy) has a natural lacquer finish and features a grooved design. As the vast majority of natsume are made with a wooden or plastic subform, this bamboo style is particularly uncommon.
Natsume are one of the two types of containers used to hold and present the matcha during a tea ceremony. Named after the Japanese word for the jujube fruit due to their resemblance in shape, natsume are used when preparing 'thin tea' or usucha (foamy matcha).
Because most natsume are not airtight, they are not suitable for long term storage and are only intended for presentation and heightening the tea making experience.
