Tea Caddy Coffee beans Canister Japanese Craft
CHERRY BARK WORK Natural Wood 

Description 

Condition: NEW

Size (approx.):  Diameter 3.6 in x Height 6.3 in
Capacity(Coffee beans): 7 oz (200g) 
Material: Cherry Bark

This item is made from a rare part of cherry bark and has a simple and rough beauty. 
As it is made of natural wood, the texture may differ slightly from the picture.

Cherry bark works have the property of avoiding moisture and preventing drying, and have been used as medicine containers and tobacco containers for quite a long term in Japan. 

This product is made for coffee beans, but it can also be used as a tea container or a confectionery container. 

Because of the natural cherry bark, the gloss will increase as you use it, and the color will change, so you can enjoy the change over time. 

We hope you will use it for a long time.

Each product is carefully manufactured by an outstanding manufacturer established in 1876.
