Description
This middle-sized ( chu) natsume, in the formal (shin-nuri) style, is a classic example of the genre. Here, the natsume is paired with an otsubukuro - a small silk bag shaped like those formerly used for rice from Otsu intended for the imperial court - for use in the koicha temae (thick tea tea procedures). However, natsume are most often used without a cover in a variety of usucha or thin tea temae. Opaque black lacquer (Shin nuri)
