By shortening the outer cylinder of this tea caddy, the cherry bark of the inner cylinder is revealed, which serves to accentuate the color of the outer cylinder. The entire inner cylinder is covered in cherry bark, and when the outer lid is opened, you can enjoy the contrast with the outer cylinder. Furthermore, the inner lid is deeper than usual and lacks a knob, allowing it to be used as a tea scoop when adding tea leaves to a teapot.

The color is inspired by the black wooden fences lining the samurai residence street in Kakunodate.

*The design utilizes the natural wood grain, so surface irregularities are not defects.

*Because natural materials are used, the knot patterns and colors will vary from piece to piece. While we strive to make the images as close to the actual product as possible, the color and texture may appear different depending on the shooting conditions and the computer or smartphone you are using. Please understand this in advance.
