Chaki – Matcha Tea Caddies & Containers

Chaki – Matcha Tea Caddies & Containers

Discover our collection of chaki (茶器), traditional Japanese tea caddies used to hold matcha during Chanoyu, the Japanese Way of Tea.

The collection includes natsume (棗) and other traditional forms, ranging from simple lacquer finishes for everyday tea practice to finely crafted pieces featuring maki-e, natural urushi lacquer, hand-carved decoration, seasonal motifs, and designs associated with distinguished tea masters.

For practitioners of Chanoyu, the selection of a chaki is an important part of preparing for a tea gathering. Its form, color, material, decoration, and seasonal motif are thoughtfully coordinated with the chawan, chashaku, and other utensils to create harmony within the tea setting.

But you do not need to practice Chanoyu to appreciate these beautiful objects.

Each chaki represents a meeting of Japanese craftsmanship, functional design, and decorative art. Many are individually crafted from wood and finished by skilled lacquer artisans using techniques passed down through generations. From understated black lacquer to intricate gold and silver maki-e, each piece offers a different expression of Japanese aesthetics.

Whether you are looking for a matcha tea caddy for daily tea practice, a chakai, a special collection, or simply as a beautiful example of Japanese craftsmanship, our Chaki Collection offers pieces to be used, appreciated, and enjoyed for years to come.
