Kakunodate Cherry Bark Craft Tea Caddy, Tea Scoop, and Tea Leaf Container - Traditional Craftsmanship (Box Not Included)

Due to long-term storage, the outer box is dirty, so the box shown in the photo will not be included. The item will be sent in individual packaging.

This is a tea ceremony set made with Kaba-zaiku (cherry bark craft), a traditional craft from Kakunodate, Akita Prefecture.
It is a very high-quality item consisting of a tea caddy, a tea scoop holder (chacoboshi), and a tea scoop, all presented in a dedicated gift box as an Ocha no Tomo Set (Tea Companion Set).

Kaba-zaiku uses the bark of wild cherry trees and is said to be the most suitable craft for preserving the freshness of tea leaves due to its excellent moisture and dryness resistance.
