Vintage Japanese Chabitsu Tea Ware Container (SKU 25D-321-2)

Warm-toned Showa-era wooden chabitsu for storing and serving your daily tea ware.

This vintage Japanese chabitsu is turned from solid wood with a beautifully grained lid that rests neatly on a softly rounded rim. The rich, honey-brown finish highlights the natural rings and patterns of the timber, giving the piece a quiet presence that suits both traditional washitsu interiors and modern minimalist spaces.

Designed as a functional tea chest, the spacious interior comfortably houses a kyusu teapot and yunomi cups, keeping your tea utensils together and dust-free between uses. Whether placed on a chabudai, tokonoma sideboard, or used as an elegant storage box for small objects, this Showa-era chabitsu brings the calm ritual of Japanese tea into everyday life.

As part of our mission to preserve and share Japanese craftsmanship, we offer antiques that were made not just to be admired, but to be used. These pieces were crafted for everyday life, and we honor their purpose by ensuring they can continue to be enjoyed and lived with today.

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 vintage and 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.
