Title	Tea caddy for thin tea with wild orchid design
Description	This small-sized (ko-hira) natsume was often used by its owner for chabako temae and is decorated with a wild orchid motif. It is very skillfully made, representing many hours of work on the part of the craftsperson. The natsume is accompanied here by a silk cover (shifuku) in setsugekka shippo kinran, presenting motifs of snow, moon, and flower in the shippo pattern. This particular fabric design was favored by the 14th generation Urasenke master Tantansai (1893-1964). The shifuku is part of a set of shifuku designed for chabako, to protect the delicate teabowl, natsume and tea scoop during transportation to an outdoor site.
