My Chabako Tea Box Book [Japanese]
This inspiring book invites you into the world of “cha boxes”—portable tea ceremony sets that reflect their owner's individuality, creativity, and love for tea.
A chabako is more than just a container—it's a personal expression of how one enjoys tea. Whether for travel, a thoughtful gift, a quiet moment of self-care, or simply the joy of collecting cherished tools, each tea box tells its own story. This book showcases 20 beautifully curated examples created by tea masters, artists, and gallerists, each offering a unique take on this intimate tradition.
Perfect for tea lovers of all levels, the book also includes practical guidance for assembling your own tea box, along with inspirational photos and ideas to spark your imagination. The final section features exquisite tea boxes from renowned art museum collections, offering a historical and artistic perspective on this beloved practice.
Whether you're new to the concept or ready to create your own, this book is a gentle companion on your journey into the deeply personal and endlessly creative world of portable tea ceremony culture.
