Kaikado for A&S
Chazutsu (tea canister) with Chasaji (teaspoon)
SPECIAL
A&S special order tea canister and teaspoon set by Kaikado in Kyoto. The tea canister is a small size designed to hold 100 grams of sencha, perfect for enjoying a single serving. The teaspoon fits precisely over the canister’s inner lid. Both items are crafted from traditional sheets and made by skilled artisans through a meticulous process of over 130 steps. The canister is highly airtight and practical, and over 30 to 40 years, it will develop a rich patina, changing from silver to gray and then black. Both the tea canister and teaspoon are made of tinplate and feature the engraved key logo.
【Kaikado】Established in 1875. Long-established tea caddy store in Kyoto with the oldest history in Japan. The shop continues to maintain the method that has been used since the first generation, using consistent handmade techniques. The beauty of the tea caddies, with their original austere beauty, increases with time. The precision with which the lid closes of its own accord, a characteristic of Kaikado tea caddies, can only be achieved by handwork.
Caution
*Tinplates are made using a process called "dobozuke," which produces a richly textured and aged appearance. Since tinplate liquid is fixed to the iron plate, if the product is used or stored in a humid or wet environment, the cut edges and other areas where the iron plate is exposed to air may rust.
*As the result of the manufacturing process of dobozuke, it is slightly dull finish rather than a perfect mirror surface overall. This is because the flow of plates creates a unique pattern when the iron plate is moved in the tin and when it is pulled up.
*When opening the lid, please hold the top of the lid (near the corners). It can be opened without effort. This will also prevent deformation.
*When closing the lid, align the joints of the lid and body. The lid will close naturally due to the precision construction.
*If water gets on the tinplate, please wipe it off immediately with a soft and dry cloth. There is no need to rinse it with water at the beginning of use. Please refrain from refrigerated storage, as condensation will occur due to the difference in temperature from the outside air. The tea leaves kept in this chazutsu last longer at room temperature.
*This will change over time by touching it with your hand, but partial touching may cause unevenness. Please stroke the entire piece well with the palm of your hand in moderation.
*The thin line next to the joints is not scratches, but are caused by the production process. Please understand this beforehand.
*For daily care, please wipe the chazutsu lightly with a soft cotton cloth.
