Contents
This display featured rare tea utensils which cannot be seen in daily life. Items included bamboo utensils used for Liang-Pan tea by an ethnic minority living in the province of Yunnan, China, as well as an 18th-century British lockbox used exclusively for storing extremely expensive tea leaves. Visitors read panels explaining about tea in each country/region and deepened their understanding of overseas tea culture that differs from Japan.
