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

The Yu-zen Washi Tin Canister is a beautiful blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern functionality, made in Japan by Kotodo. This canister is designed to preserve delicate tea leaves, offering a secure and aesthetically pleasing storage solution. The canister's design features the classic structure of Japanese tea containers, including an airtight seal and a deep overlap between the body and lid to protect against moisture. The round shape, a symbol of good fortune in Japan, also contributes to its effective functionality, as it prevents moisture from accumulating in corners.

Product Features:

• Craftsmanship: Handmade with attention to detail, utilizing vintage machines in parts of the production process to ensure safety and quality.
• Smooth Surface: The finished edges of the lid and body are perfectly aligned, minimizing friction and enhancing the durability of the Washi paper. This smooth surface is both functional and visually pleasing.
• Pattern Alignment: The canister's lid clicks into place with a satisfying "click," indicating perfect alignment between the patterns on the lid and body.
• Airtight Metal Inner Lid: The high-grade tin inner lid, finished in gold, ensures that the canister remains airtight, protecting the contents from light, air, and humidity. This feature enhances preservation and protects delicate ingredients.
• Bevelled Edges for Safety: The edges of the lid and body are carefully bevelled inward to prevent injury, making the canister safe to handle.
• Lead-Free and Safe: The canister is made with lead-free, food-grade materials. Kotodo uses electric welding instead of soldering to ensure safety and environmental consciousness.
• Premium Tin Material: Tin-plated steel is considered a premium material in Japan for its delicate appearance, eco-friendliness, and ability to protect contents from light and air.
