Description

Within the quiet curvature of each canister is the history of seven generations of Kaikado master artisans, all working to preserve the ancient art of handmade “chazutsu” (tea canisters). Made according to tradition, without mold or machine, each contemporary artisan relies on handfeel—not measurements—to create each piece, resulting in each canister being one-of-a-kind. Available in two sizes. 

Origin: Japan

Care

Wipe with soft cloth; do not wash the canister. If it comes into contact with water, wipe it dry immediately to prevent moisture spots. The accumulation of fingerprints and marks of use contribute to a unique patina over time, and should be considered part of each piece’s unique character. 

Do not place the canister in a refrigerator or freezer as they are sensitive to moisture and humidity. 

When opening the lid, lift it gently to avoid damage.

When closing, align the joint line of the lid with that of the body. This allows air to be released slowly and the lid to close smoothly. Press the lid gently at the end to ensure a tight seal.
