Two tea bowls (Mishima Kyogen hakama and powdered salt box), tea utensils, tea cup, tea towel holder are all pottery.
The tea whisk case is made of Japanese paper coated with persimmon tannin, and the wrapping was also made by Mr. Ito.
(He said that outsourcing would increase the price, and while that is certainly part of the reason, I really feel that he is someone who simply loves making things. The shifuku is tied in a Nagao style.)
The tea scoop is made from white mother-of-pearl and shaped by Ito.
Each piece is made with care and love, and is filled with Ito's attention to detail in the microcosm that is the tea basket.
The flavor of the Kohiki salt bowl will surely develop as you use it.
Bring some matcha, some sugar candy, a thermos filled with hot water, and this tea basket set, and find a lovely spot just for you to enjoy an outdoor tea ceremony.
(A tea whisk is included as a bonus, but some of the tips are broken. Although it is unused, it is a consumable item, so please consider it as an accessory for reference only.)
Kohiki salt bowl, diameter 7.2cm, diameter 8.4cm, height 6.5cm
Chasen tube, height 9.6cm (A chasen for outdoor tea ceremonies that is about 9cm in height is recommended. The size of chasen for outdoor tea ceremonies varies depending on the manufacturer, so try searching for a suitable chasen using terms such as "outdoor tea ceremonial chasen 9cm.")
