Vintage Japanese Chado Tea Ceremony Set with Hinoki Cabinet, Chawan, Kensui, Chasen, and Accessories, Heisei 1990-2018 | SKU: 26M-614

A complete chado tea ceremony collection -- ceramic chawan bowls, chasen whisk, matcha canister, and kensui waste-water bowl, housed in a handcrafted hinoki storage cabinet.

A chado set is a curated collection of tools used in the Japanese way of tea, bringing together every element needed to prepare and serve matcha in the traditional manner. This complete vintage Japanese tea ceremony set includes multiple ceramic chawan (matcha bowls) in contrasting styles -- a rustic ash-glazed stoneware bowl with brushed wave motifs evoking the wabi-sabi aesthetic, and a refined cream-glazed porcelain bowl decorated with hand-painted kasane (layered fabric) motifs in red, green, yellow, and blue -- alongside a celadon-glazed kensui water bowl with dark iron-spot speckles. The set is further complemented by a vivid green tin matcha canister (labeled for matcha storage), a black lacquered natsume tea caddy with gold fan decoration on its lid, and a chasen bamboo whisk from Yamato Takayama -- one of Japan's most celebrated whisk-producing regions -- presented in its original protective clear canister. All pieces nest neatly within a light-toned hinoki (cypress) storage cabinet fitted with multiple open compartments and a small pull-out drawer at the base, secured by a side-hinged panel door with a metal clasp.

In a modern home, this handcrafted Japanese tea ceremony set makes an extraordinary statement piece for a living room shelf, meditation corner, or home office credenza styled in the Japandi or wabi-sabi aesthetic. Display the cabinet open on a sideboard to showcase the ceramic chawan as sculptural objects, or use the set actively for a daily matcha ritual -- a mindful alternative to coffee that is growing in popularity worldwide. The complete, ready-to-use nature of this set also makes it an exceptional housewarming gift or gift for Japanophiles who appreciate authentic Japanese craft and culture.
