A vintage Japanese nodate set — a compact collection of tea utensils traditionally used for preparing matcha outdoors or while traveling.
Nodate refers to the practice of enjoying Japanese tea outside, often in a garden, park, or natural setting. The utensils are made compact so they can be carried together, making this set both practical and beautifully representative of Japanese tea culture.
This six-piece set includes the essential utensils for preparing matcha, neatly gathered inside a decorative carrying basket.

• Bamboo whisk (chasen)
