Vintage Japanese Chabitsu Tea Utensil Box, Mid-Showa 1946-1965 | SKU: 26J-0392
Vintage Japanese Chabitsu Tea Utensil Box, Mid-Showa 1946-1965 | SKU: 26J-0392
A beautifully turned wooden chabitsu with rich grain and a broad lidded form for tea utensils or tabletop storage.
A chabitsu is a traditional Japanese container used to hold tea-serving items, and this example has the classic wide circular form well suited to that purpose. Crafted in wood with a warm reddish-brown tone, it features a gently rounded body, a fitted circular lid, and a spacious open interior. The grain is especially prominent across the lid and sides, giving the piece a strong decorative presence even when closed. Its low, broad proportions and smooth turned construction create a practical covered vessel that is equally appealing as an object of vintage Japanese woodcraft.
At 12 inches in diameter, this chabitsu offers useful scale for storing tea utensils, packets, napkins, or other household items. It also works well in a modern interior as a tabletop organizer, entryway catchall, or decorative lidded box. The clean circular silhouette and richly figured wood make it an easy fit for Japandi, wabi-sabi, and other natural-material interiors.

A handsome vintage Japanese wooden container that combines practical storage with sculptural simplicity.
As part of our mission to preserve and share Japanese craftsmanship, we offer vintage pieces 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 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.
