Echizen Lacquerware – Wooden Tea Box (Chabako)
Made of Paulownia Wood – Linen Texture – Negoro Lacquer Finish
We are pleased to introduce a wooden tea box (chabako) made from paulownia wood, finished in the traditional Echizen lacquerware style.
A chabako is a portable box designed to hold a complete set of tea utensils used for preparing tea during a tea ceremony.
(This item includes the box only.)
It is a wooden box used to prepare and enjoy matcha while traveling or during nodate (outdoor tea gatherings).
There are various materials and lacquer finishes for chabako, but the earliest type favored by Sen no Rikyu was made of plain paulownia wood,
while the Sotan style, preferred by his grandson Sotan, featured a vermilion lacquered ichikan-bari (paper-laminated) finish.
The box comes with a removable inner tray lid (kakeko-buta) that has a small opening to accommodate the tea whisk (chasen).
Originally, there were no fixed procedures (temae) associated with the chabako,
but in the Urasenke school, the tea procedure was later formalized by Gengensai Soshitsu.
This tea box is finished using the Negoro-nuri technique.
In this process, a black lacquer undercoat is first applied,
followed by a vermilion lacquer layer, which is then polished so that the underlying black subtly appears through the surface.
This delicate interplay of red and black tones is the hallmark of Negoro lacquer.
The exterior surface has a linen-like texture (nunome) with a matte finish,
creating a beautiful vintage atmosphere.
The historically rooted design exudes an elegant and dignified presence that reflects centuries of Japanese tradition.
The interior is finished in solid black, allowing the natural grain of the wood to show through.
This contrast between the interior and exterior gives the box a refined, timeless character—
a piece that can be enjoyed for many years without losing its charm.
Because it is very lightweight, it is easy to carry.
In the past, tea masters often brought such boxes with them on their travels,
enjoying tea wherever they went—
a reminder that chanoyu (the way of tea) was always a familiar and integral part of daily life.
The fine texture and appearance of the wood also make this box suitable for use as a storage or display box.

越前漆器 茶箱 桐木 布纹 根来涂 木制
这是来自越前漆器的木制桐木茶箱。
“茶箱”是指可携带的箱具，用来收纳一式茶道点前所需的道具（此商品为箱子本体）。
它是为了在旅途中或户外（野点）时点泡抹茶而设计的木制箱子。
茶箱的漆法与材质种类繁多，最早的“利休型”以桐木地制成，
而“宗旦好”则为朱漆的一閑张样式。
箱盖内侧设有带孔的托架，用于安放茶筅。
原本茶箱并没有固定的点前作法，
但在裏千家中，由玄々斎宗室制定了专用的茶箱点前。
此款茶箱采用“根来涂”的技法涂饰而成。
在底层先涂黑漆，再覆盖朱漆，
经研磨后使部分底层黑漆若隐若现，
这正是根来涂的典型特色。
表面带有布纹压饰，呈现出柔和的无光泽质感，
整体散发出浓厚的复古气息。
其设计源自悠久的历史传统，
使人感受到厚重而高雅的格调。
内侧为纯黑色漆面，保留了木材本身的质感，
与外观的风情截然不同，
是一只经久耐用、耐看不腻的茶箱。
由于采用桐木制成，重量极轻，
携带十分方便。
古时的茶人即便在旅途中，也会携此类茶箱，
随时享受品茶之乐。
由此可见，茶之汤自古便是生活中贴近人心的存在。
此外，这只茶箱质感出众，
亦可作为收纳箱使用。
