Pine Tree Bamboo Plum Natsume Matcha Container DESIGN_Yoshidaya made of Nambu ironware inThis natsume "matcha container" has the painting of the famous combination of pine tree, bamboo, and plum which are considered as auspicious motifs in Japan, bringing good luck and longevity. The red lacquer further adds to the festive atmosphere. A natsume is a type of container used for holding powdered matcha during tea ceremonies, rather than for long term storage.
