Title	Tea caddy for thin tea with cherry, maple, and flowing water motif
Description	Unkin literally means "clouds and brocade." This phrase likens cherry blossoms to clouds and colored maples leaves to brocade. Elements of another much loved motif, hana ikada or flowers drifting downstream on a raft, also appear. Both these motifs carry a strong sense of evanescence and the swift passage of time.
