Crafted in 2023 as part of the "Five Grains" (五谷) lacquerware (大漆) series, this tea scoop blends tradition with a light, contemporary touch. It features a grey-paper core made from hand-ground green tea powder, layered with natural lacquer and handmade paper. The inner layer is reinforced with hand-crafted paper pulp, while the finish reveals a subtle skin-like texture—lightweight, yet firm in hand. Ideal for modern tea rituals that seek to honor nature, tactility, and simplicity.
