A story of Japan's most valued cultural pieces, the cherry tree, green tea and craftsmanship.
Its simplicity was obtained by removing the knob from the inner lid. The removal of the knob enables the inner lid to be used in place of a tea scoop when measuring tealeaves into a teapot.
The inner lid is made using the “katamono” crafting technique, in which the inner cylinder of the caddy is cut so as to create parallel sections, one of which will be used as the inner lid.
Because they were cut from the same piece, the diameters of the inner cylinder and the inner lid are the same, and they fit together perfectly.
The outer cylinder is made of plain bark made by polishing the surface of wild cherry tree bark, allowing you to enjoy the unique expression of the knots of cherry bark that appear when polished.
In addition, the lustre increases with each passing day, and the more you use it, the more subdued the colour becomes.

Notes
Due to the materials used, each piece has a different pattern and colour. In addition, although we strive to make the product as close to the actual product as possible, the colour and texture may appear different from the actual product depending on the shooting conditions and the computer or smartphone you are using. Finally, there are a lot of counterfeit products that try to resemble to the original cherry bark tea caddy. They use cheap labour and a mixture cheap steel for the inside. We maintain our focus on the craftspeople who make this and try to offer to our customers the pinnacle of craftsmanship and tradition with regards to this object. It is our deepest hope that you will enjoy it for many decades to come.
