This tea canister from Yatsuyanagi, a manufacturer of cherry bark work in Akita Prefecture, is decorated with a falling Sakura (cherry blossom) motif using shell inlays, taking advantage of the natural beauty of cherry bark.

The lustrous brown cherry bark is characterized by its moist texture and beautiful luster. The inside is also made of cherry bark, which is moisture-proof and antibacterial, preserving the flavor of the tea leaves put inside.

The cherry trees used for Akita cherry bark work are mainly wild cherry trees from the Tohoku region, which grow in a harsh climate and are said to be beautiful and durable.

The cherry bark is carefully peeled off from the trunk and left to dry in the shade for a year or two to remove the moisture. Yatsuyanagi is committed to the preservation of sustainable nature and the coexistence and co-prosperity of nature and traditional crafts. They are also actively involved in planting wild cherry trees on fallow land.

Since its establishment in 1876, Yatsuyanagi has been engaged in the manufacture and sale of wild cherry bark work for generations in Kakunodate, Senboku City, Akita Prefecture, a place rich in nature. They are a manufacturer that puts their heart and soul into each and every product, using the high technology that has been handed down from generation to generation to create tools for daily life that are both easy to use and beautiful.
