A generously sized round chabitsu with a fitted lid, glossy dark lacquer, and a hand-hammered surface texture.
A chabitsu is a traditional Japanese box used for keeping tea-serving articles together, often including cups, small tea wares, and related utensils. This example has a broad cylindrical form with a fitted overhanging lid and a deep, open interior suited to storing and presenting tea items. The exterior and lid show a faceted hand-worked texture beneath a rich, dark reddish-brown lacquer, while the interior is finished in a smooth glossy dark lacquer. Its substantial size and clean circular silhouette make it both practical and visually striking.
In a modern home, this handcrafted Japanese lacquerware box works beautifully as a tea utensil container, tabletop organizer, or sculptural accent on a shelf or low table. Its rounded profile and deep lustrous finish pair especially well with natural wood, linen, and quiet minimalist interiors. A distinctive gift for collectors of Japanese antiques and traditional tea-related objects.
A handsome and functional example of Japanese antique lacquerware, sized for use and display alike.
We use professional studio lighting to highlight the natural character of the wood. As a result, the tone may appear slightly warmer than under natural daylight.
All antique items are sold as-is. Each piece may exhibit signs of age, including scratches, wear, or minor imperfections. These are not considered defects but natural evidence of the item’s authenticity and age.
