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

The Yu-zen Washi Tin Canister by Kotodo combines traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern functionality. This canister is designed to preserve the freshness of your tea and other delicate ingredients, thanks to its high-quality materials and expert construction. Inspired by classic Japanese tea canisters, it features a refined inner lid and a deep overlap between the body and the lid to protect your items from moisture, making it ideal for use in Japan's humid climate.

Crafted in Japan, each canister is mostly handmade with a meticulous finishing touch. Kotodo uses vintage machinery for certain production steps to ensure safety, while preserving the delicate art of manual craftsmanship. The smooth surface, the perfectly matching patterns on the lid and body, and the airtight metal inner lid provide both functional and aesthetic appeal.

Product Features:

• Smooth Surface: The lid and body edges are seamlessly finished, minimizing friction and prolonging the life of the Washi paper. The smooth surface is not only visually pleasing but also a unique feature of handmade production.

• Clicking Cover: The lid clicks into place with a satisfying sound, ensuring that the patterns on the cover and body align perfectly. This feature is found only in Kotodo’s patterned canisters.

• Airtight Metal Inner Lid: Made from high-grade tin with a gold-colored finish, the inner lid protects the contents from light exposure, humidity, and air. It is designed for long-term use, with a knob for easy opening.

• Beveled Edges for Safety: The lid and body edges are carefully beveled inward to prevent finger injuries, a safety feature unique to Kotodo’s handmade process.

• Lead-Free Construction: Kotodo eliminates the use of leaded solder, replacing it with electric welding for food-grade, lead-free safety. The canister is made from recyclable, high-quality tin-plated steel.

• Premium Material: Tin-plated steel is a delicate and elegant material that keeps air and light out, ensuring your tea and ingredients stay fresh for longer periods. It also maintains the temperature inside the canister.

• Eco-Friendly: Tin is 100% recyclable, contributing to sustainability. In Japan, a high percentage of tin is recycled annually and repurposed into new products.
