The wooden box included ensures safe storage and gift-ready presentation.

This tea ceremony vase connects you to centuries of Japanese tradition, echoing the practices of Sen no Rikyū, the founder of the Way of Tea, who used gourds similarly in his tea rooms as charcoal baskets and flower vases. Some gourds have remained in use for nearly 500 years, proving their durability and cultural significance. Our vintage Japanese vase has been carefully preserved; while it shows minor scratches and dirt from aging, it remains in good condition, authentic to its antique origins.
