This is a tea box made from paper twine, made during the Joseon Dynasty. Paper twine is made by tearing Japanese paper into thin strips and twisting it by hand like thread. Due to its delicacy and strength, it was widely used in the past to weave tools, ornaments, and everyday items. This tea box also shows a part of the intricate craftsmanship, and it is an item that shows why it has been loved throughout the ages.

The beautiful weave that spreads across the entire tea box looks like a flower blooming, and its beauty of form captivates the viewer at a glance. In particular, this floral weave is not just decorative; when you hold it in your hand, you can see that it is full of intricate design and is sturdy enough to withstand actual use. As a user, I myself am drawn to this beauty, and every time I pick it up, I am reminded of its charm.

Another attractive feature of this tea box is that it has remained in good condition even after so much time. The condition of the string is particularly excellent, and the weave of the paper string is still firmly in place and not unraveled, which shows how carefully it has been cared for. Although it is an old tool with a sense of history, it also has a beauty that naturally blends into modern life and is an item that can be used daily.

If you receive this tea box, we hope you will not only regard it as an antique work of art, but also use it for a long time in your daily life. This paper-threaded tea box is delicate in appearance, but is also sturdy. It will be able to show its charm to the fullest whether used to store tea utensils or as a special decorative box. This is a masterpiece that you will want to receive as a tea box that will last you a lifetime.
