Meticulously crafted from carefully woven strips of bamboo, this traditional “chabako” would typically contain all of the basic utensils for conducting tea ceremony. As the same name is commonly used to describe wood boxes used to store and transport tea leaves, the piece below could also be described as a “chakago” to avoid confusion—though the former descriptor is much more commonly used. In practice, the box would contain a tea bowl, kensui, chashaku, chasen, chaire and several other basic utensils.
With dimensions of 15cm tall x 15cm deep x 20 cm in length, this delightful chabako is in fine antique condition. Likely from Meiji or late Edo—it now waits patiently to be put back into service, either as a functional item or for decorative purposes.
