Antique Japan Lacquer Matcha Caddy NATSUME Chidori
A beautifully crafted black Natsume with a simple and elegant form. Upon opening the lid, an exquisite world of Chidori maki-e (plover design in lacquer) unfolds, offering a delightful contrast and captivating beauty. The meticulously painted landscape and plovers, paired with the golden interior, create a stunning visual experience. When the lid is closed, the serene beauty of the black exterior returns. Even the finish on the base of the body showcases exceptional craftsmanship.
The plover (Chidori) pattern in Japan traditionally symbolizes prayers for success, as well as wishes for household safety and harmony.
