This original tea canister from Fujiki Denshiro Shoten features a distinctive cherry bark accent that elegantly peeks through like a decorative sash. By shortening the outer cylinder, the inner cherry bark layer is revealed, creating a refined contrast with the rich color of the outer wood. While innovative in design, this tea canister beautifully highlights the craftsmanship and unique qualities inherent to traditional Kabazaiku cherry bark work.

The inner cylinder is fully lined with cherry bark, creating a striking visual contrast against the outer cylinder when the lid is removed. Additionally, the inner lid is designed deeper than standard and omits a handle, allowing it to conveniently double as a tea scoop when transferring tea leaves into a teapot. The canister’s dark hue evokes the iconic black wooden fences lining the historic samurai residences of Kakunodate.

Designed by Kaichiro Yamada.

*Please note that due to the use of natural materials, each product features unique variations in grain patterns and coloration. While every effort is made to represent the product accurately, colors and textures may appear differently depending on photography conditions and your device’s screen.

Care Guide

・Please use the product correctly in accordance with its intended purpose and use. ・Avoid using it in the refrigerator. Extreme dryness may cause the surface bark to peel off or the product to warp. ・Do not soak it in water or hot water, and do not use it in a dishwasher. ・Do not use it in a microwave or oven. ・To prevent the cherry bark from peeling, avoid getting it wet and do not leave it in highly humid places for extended periods. ・To prevent warping, cracking, or discoloration, avoid exposing it to direct sunlight. ・Avoid sudden temperature changes caused by contact with heated or cooled objects, as this may lead to discoloration, warping, or cracking. ・Be careful not to drop it or subject it to strong external impacts, as this may cause damage. Among kabazaiku (cherry bark craft) products, those with a polished finish are not coated to allow customers to enjoy the natural texture of the material. Therefore, please avoid moisture as much as possible. If it does become wet, immediately wipe it off with a soft, dry cloth. Please align the seams of the body and lid when closing the lid. Both the body and lid are made using a single wooden mold, so aligning the seams will ensure smooth closure. As each product is handcrafted, there may be slight individual differences in how the outer and inner lids fit. Thank you for your understanding. Tea caddies help maintain an appropriate level of humidity, keeping tea leaves in good condition. The exterior is coated with urethane, allowing it to be wiped with water or lightly rinsed. However, while it repels water, do not soak it in water or hot water, and do not use it in a dishwasher. View full details
