This Chakoboshi Tea Waste Container made by Seigado, a metalworking workshop in Niigata Prefecture, features a golden brown color. Each piece is handmade using the traditional hammering technique of "Tsuiki". The ground color of the copper is accented with small flowers.
In the world of the tea ceremony, the time spent putting tea leaves and hot water into a teapot and waiting for the tea to be served is also considered time spent with loved ones. In matcha and Sencha tea ceremonies, the utensils are brought out in front of the guests, and the tea is served in front of them. This is an expression of the spirit of hospitality which the master himself prepares and serves the tea for his guests.
With "Chakoboshi", you can serve tea to all guests without having to go to the different room to dispose of hot water and tea leaves. It is an item that makes you appreciate the world of tea more deeply.
