Vintage cherry bark Chazutsu and Chataku set

Vintage handcrafted Kabazaibu tea caddie, tea coasters, and spoon from northern Japan. Cherry Bark craftwork is a unique and delicate Japanese art that originated in the Akita prefecture during the Edo period (1603 – 1868). “Kaba-zaiku is a truly Japanese form of art, carved out of its national tree, the cherry blossom”.

This caddy will efficiently preserve your most treasured teas thanks to its double lid. All the pieces of this box are made of cherry wood. It is difficult not to be moved by the meticulous hand-working that has gone into this creation! The result is beautiful, astonishingly lightweight, and waterproof. It is in itself a beautiful object of contemplation.

Circa 1990s.
