Ebay - "Tanzaku bako"

by cloudyday » Apr 3rd, '08, 15:12

Here's a tea ceremony item I don't see very often. I dunno if anyone would be interested, but I happened across it. Only 2 days left on the auction.

That looks more like a chabako. If you do a search for chabako you'll find ones like it every so often.

Ah, interesting. Thanks for the info. I had a feeling they were using wrong or unusual terminology.

I am looking at that exact same box right now. We have one in my shop with a bunch of tea ceremony items. Its labeled an antique, but if its really only 20-30 years old as the auction suggests, well, that doesn't sound so antique to me.
