Japanese Tea Caddy NATSUME w Willow

A handmade tea caddy that has been finely crafted with sharpened gold. Kuro-urushi is applied to the boxwood fabric. Willow is Elaborately drawn.

The Willow tree is often associated with a drooping appearance, but the Nekoyanagi species is unique in that its branches spread upward and outward, giving it a more positive image of "effort leading to success". The general meaning of the Willow tree is "obedience", which comes from the way its leaves sway in the wind.

In this painting of a Yamachu-nuri Natsume tea caddy, delicate depictions of the Willow tree can be seen. The use of gold in the painting emphasizes the value and importance of the Willow in Japanese culture.

If you are looking for a meaningful gift for someone special, a representation of the Willow tree may be a great choice. Its message of perseverance and determination is sure to inspire and encourage.
