Traditional Craftsmanship & Design:

• Smooth Surface: The even surface and flush edges reduce friction, prolonging the life of the Washi paper and adding a visually pleasing, uniform appearance.
• Clicking Lid: A unique feature of Kotodo's tea canisters is the “clicking” lid that aligns perfectly with the body’s pattern. When closing, the lid snaps into place with a satisfying click, ensuring a secure fit.
• Airtight Metal Inner Lid: The high-quality gold-colored tin inner lid maintains airtightness year-round, offering optimal protection from air, light, and humidity. Unlike plastic, which may transfer odors, tin preserves the integrity of the contents.
• Beveled Edges: The lid and body feature beveled inward edges to ensure user safety, reducing the risk of injury from sharp metal edges.
• Lead-Free & Safe: Kotodo no longer uses leaded solder, employing electric welding with lead-free, food-grade steel and tin to ensure the canister is safe for food storage.
• Recyclable & Eco-Friendly: Tin-plated steel is 100% recyclable and maintains the contents’ freshness, unlike materials such as wood or other metals that can degrade over time.

Care Instructions:

• Rust Prevention: Avoid exposure to moisture. If rusting occurs, discontinue use. To clean, gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
