This is a classic "Kabazaiku" tea canister, made entirely from natural cherry bark, a material that has been cherished for generations. While Japan is home to a wide variety of traditional crafts, those using the bark of wild cherry trees (yamazakura) are truly one-of-a-kind, even on a global scale.

The section known as "Shimofurikawa" (frosted bark) features delicate white and black speckles that resemble frost, giving the piece a naturally expressive and organic appearance. The design is adorned with a graceful cherry blossom motif in blue shell raden (mother-of-pearl inlay), adding an elegant touch.

Tea canisters made from yamazakura bark are excellent at regulating humidity, keeping the interior environment stable and dry. This helps preserve the flavor of tea leaves for extended periods. Unlike metal containers, these wooden canisters do not rust, offering both beauty and practicality.

As with all natural wood products, the surface of this canister will deepen in color and luster over time, developing a warm, familiar feel with use—a key charm of its aging process.

This tea canister holds approximately 150g of green tea, making it a very convenient size for everyday use.

Crafted with masterful precision, the “Yatuyanagi Full Cherry Bark Tea Canister – Large, Shimofurikawa Sakura Blizzard” brings a touch of refinement and beauty to your daily tea time.

Since its founding in 1876, in the 9th year of the Meiji era, Yatsuyanagi has inherited the tradition of Kabazaiku. Kakunodate, Semboku City, Akita Prefecture, where our workshop is located, is a beautiful area rich in nature, and the birch work created here is made using the bark of wild cherry trees.
