Beautiful natsume, the craftsmanship is amazing, and it has me gazing at it, enjoying the beautiful shimmer of the bark. The lid fits so perfectly and there seems to be no errors as it satisfyingly slides on. For those who do not know, this is a tool that is used in tea ceremony. The container is not supposed to be air tight, it's not for long term storage, and is only for holding the pre-sifted and pre-measured matcha powder when presenting the tea during the ceremony.

Looks nice but not very practical. The lid is very loose and there is no inside lid. For this high price I cannot recommend this natsume.
