Shin Nuri, Rikyu-style Tea Container
Match tea powder container, designed after Rikyu’s likings, the connoisseur who established the modern Tea style known as wabi cha.
It is not surprising, perhaps, to think the most famous, paradigm-shifting tea master favoured this ordinary-looking shape after seeing so many of the extraordinary.
Shin-nuri, literally translated as true polish, refers to a repeated method of layering urushi lacquers and polishing the surface each time.
The tender lustre on this uni-coloured container surface is very inviting. Perfect shape to fit in your palms.

Care of Use:
Avoid direct sunlight and UV rays.
Wash with lukewarm water and wipe well with a soft cloth. Carefully Remove water from the corners with a dry soft cloth so as to avoid water stains.
For oil stains, wash with a soft sponge using neutral detergent and rinse with lukewarm water.
To store for a long time without use, wrap in a cloth and store at room temperature.
Do not stack dishes of other materials, such as earthenware or porcelain, on top of urushiware in order to avoid scratches.
