My Tea Box

People assemble tea boxes for all sorts of reasons: to make tea for friends while travelling, to enjoy a leisurely bowl alone, to collect utensils to their own taste, and so on. This book introduces 20 refined tea boxes by gallerists, artists, tea practitioners and others who love chanoyu. If you have been interested in tea boxes but have never put one into practice, use this book as a reference and try assembling a tea box "true to yourself." At the end, it even introduces masterpieces held in museums.

"Freedom": that is the appeal of the tea box. Featuring the distinctive tea boxes of 20 people who love chanoyu, it invites you on a journey to assemble a tea box "that is truly you."
