Yu-zen Washi Tin Canister 7 oz (200g), Paper Washi, SHIPPO, White and Gold

Discover the beauty of traditional Japanese craftsmanship with the Yu-zen Washi Tin Canister, designed to preserve the freshness of your tea or other delicate ingredients. Made from high-quality tin-plated steel with a gold-colored inner lid, this canister combines aesthetic elegance with practical functionality. The unique design features a deep overlap between the body and lid to protect your tea from humidity, a common concern in Japan’s climate. This ensures an airtight seal, keeping your contents fresh.

Kotodo’s canisters are inspired by traditional Japanese tea canisters, designed with specific features to protect your tea leaves. The cylindrical shape prevents moisture from accumulating, while the round design is considered auspicious in Japan. The lid opens smoothly with a simple lift—no twisting or prying required. Handmade and meticulously crafted, each canister undergoes a process that combines vintage machines with skilled craftsmanship to ensure superior quality.

Product Features:

• Smooth Surface: The edges of the lid and body are flush with each other, minimizing friction and prolonging the life of the Washi paper. This smooth surface also provides a visually pleasing aesthetic.

• Clicking Lid: The lid features a unique design that clicks into place, aligning the patterns on the cover and body perfectly. This audible “click” ensures the lid is securely fastened.

• Airtight Metal Inner Lid: Made from high-grade tin with a gold-colored finish, the metal inner lid ensures airtight protection from light, air, and humidity, keeping the contents fresh.

• Beveled Edges: For safety, the cut edges of the lid and body are beveled inward to prevent injury.

• Lead-Free and Safe: KOTODO no longer uses leaded solder, switching to electric welding with food-grade, lead-free materials to ensure complete safety.

• Premium Material: Made from high-quality tin-plated steel, this canister is elegant, sleek, and perfect for storing delicate tea leaves. Tin is also eco-friendly, fully recyclable, and ensures long-term preservation of your contents.
