Function meets beauty in these canisters from Japan, which are hand-wrapped by craftsman in traditional washi paper. The paper is cut and laid so the design perfectly aligns when the air-tight lid is closed for a seamless, polished look. And underneath its stunning exterior, the canister itself is forged from lead-free, food-grade steel plated in tin, which does a great job of keeping oxygen, light and humidity out. The design also features an outer and inner lid, which helps create an even better seal. Fill with tea, coffee beans and other dry goods you’d like easy, stylish access to.
Washi paper, made from kozo (mulberry) bark, Gampi bushes, or Mitsumata bushes, was used in Japan for art, writing, bookbinding, and for home decor such as screens on sliding doors or room dividers. The process of producing the paper is intensive, requiring time to harvest and process the fibers, press the water out of the pulp, dry in the sun and finally, cut to size.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
To open, pull outer and inner lid straight up and off, do not twist. To close, put the outer lid on and twist counter-clockwise until it audibly clicks into place and the pattern is aligned.
Not dishwasher or microwave safe, wipe inside with damp towel and dry completely to clean.
