The tea scoop is a utensil used in the preparation of sencha, designed to transfer tea leaves from the tea caddy to the teapot.
This landscape design appears to have been playfully carved by a literati, reflecting a sense of enjoyment in its creation. It shows signs of extensive use, exhibiting a beautifully worn patina.
