Blue Japanese tea box in washi paper - SHIKKU - 200gr

Yu-zen Washi Tin Canister 7 oz (200g), Paper Washi, SHIKKU, Violet with Gold Color Tin Internal Cap - Made in Japan

Discover the beauty and functionality of the Yu-zen Washi Tin Canister by Kotodo, crafted in the style of traditional Japanese tea canisters. Designed to protect delicate tea leaves from moisture, this canister features an airtight metal inner lid made from high-quality tin with a gold-colored finish. Perfect for preserving the freshness of your tea, it also ensures protection from light exposure, air, and humidity. The cylindrical shape and double-lid structure are specifically designed to prevent moisture buildup, and the round shape is also considered auspicious in Japanese culture.

Product Features:

• Smooth Surface: The edges of the lid and body are flush, minimizing friction and prolonging the life of the Washi paper. This smooth finish is visually appealing and ensures the durability of the design.
• Pattern Alignment: The canister features a "clicking cover," where the lid perfectly aligns with the pattern on the body. When twisting the lid to close, it snaps into place with an audible “click,” a feature that is unique to handmade items.
• Airtight Metal Inner Lid: The high-grade tin inner lid is designed to stay airtight year-round, protecting the contents from moisture, light, and air. The easy-to-pull knob ensures smooth opening and closing.
• Bevelled Edges for Safety: The cut edges of the lid and body are bevelled inward, reducing the risk of injury when handling the canister.
• Lead-Free Construction: Kotodo ensures safety by using lead-free, food-grade steel and tin in the construction of the canister. Electric welding replaces traditional leaded solder for a safer, more eco-friendly design.
• Eco-Friendly: Tin-plated steel is a recyclable material, and in Japan, 90% of steel cans are recycled annually. This canister combines sustainability with traditional craftsmanship.
