This wooden chazutsu (tea canister) is made using the traditional kabazaiku (樺細工) technique in which a thin veneer of hand-scraped and polished cherry bark is carefully applied to a wooden core. Commonly applied to steel canisters, this fully wooden style is more traditional and more time- and labour-consuming to make, as the interior is also coated with a layer of cherry bark. This chazutsu also comes with a cherry bark scoop and a beautiful presentation box. Made by Tomioka in Daisen, Akita Prefecture. Featuring an airtight inner lid, this canister is perfect for keeping roughly 150 grams of tea fresh. Note: the canister's capacity is measured with sencha, meaning it may hold more or less of other teas.
