Pine Tree Bamboo Plum Natsume Matcha Container MOTIF_Hokusai Meticulously handcraftedThis natsume "matcha container" has the painting of the famous combination of pine tree, bamboo, and plum which are considered as auspicious motifs in Japan, bringing good luck and longevity. The red lacquer further adds to the festive atmosphere. A natsume is a type of container used for holding powdered matcha during tea ceremonies, rather than for long term storage. When preparing matcha for a natsume, do not pour it directly into the container.
