Japanese Vintage Portable Outdoor Tea Ceremony Set \"Nodate\" (野点) - Showa Period
[About Nodate (野点) & Japanese Outdoor Tea Culture]\"Nodate\" refers to the traditional practice of enjoying Japanese green tea (Matcha) in the open air, surrounded by nature—under cherry blossoms in spring, rich green foliage in summer, or colorful leaves in autumn. This tradition originated during the Sengoku (Warring States) period, when samurai generals and tea masters like Sen no Rikyu hosted outdoor tea gatherings before battles or during travel to relax and reflect. Nodate embodies the spirit of \"Wabi-Sabi\" and harmony with nature, offering a peaceful tea experience anywhere you travel.

The two bowls nest comfortably together.- Bamboo Tea Whisk (Chasen) with Protective Holder: Comes with a natural bamboo whisk and a custom bamboo tube case to protect the delicate tines during transport.- Handwoven Bamboo & Fabric Pouch (Kinchaku): The lower portion is crafted from finely woven dark bamboo basketry, seamlessly joined with a traditional fabric top adorned with Kikko (hexagonal tortoise-shell) geometric patterns—a motif symbolizing longevity and good fortune.
