What chaire means
A chaire is a small ceramic jar, often with a carved ivory or wooden lid and a silk shifuku pouch, used to present koicha-grade matcha during chanoyu. Pieces from kilns such as Seto, Bizen, and the Korean-influenced Karatsu tradition are particularly prized and are passed down as named utensils. In the Urasenke and Omotesenke schools the chaire signals the more formal half of a chaji, in contrast to the natsume used for usucha. The host handles it with greater ceremony than any other caddy on the mat.
