Seigado Sakura and Wind Pattern Copper Tea Canister

JPY ¥49,200

Only 5 pieces in stock!

This Copper Tea Canister made by Seigado, a metalworking workshop in Niigata Prefecture, features a purple-gold color. Each piece is handmade using the traditional hammering technique of "Tsuiki". 

The upper lid has an incised Sakura ("cherry") blossoms pattern. The lid has a double structure with another copper plate under the incised pattern. The pattern and coloring are named "Kazemon" (wind pattern) to evoke the image of wind flowing in a purple-gold color.

This copper tea canister is hermetically sealed to keep tea leaves tasty.

The top lid should be closed in such a way that the line of the rivets is aligned with the line of the rivets on the body. Otherwise, it will be difficult to open and close the lid.
When the top lid is inserted correctly, it will drop down smoothly. After that, turn it to the right and it will stop at the point where you hear a click.

This beautiful purple-gold coloration is the result of very delicate work. The surface of the copper is alloyed by baking tin onto the surface, and the plate is processed and formed.

This traditional coloring technique is used for hammered copperware, which develops a deep blue color and also appears pale green when exposed to sunlight. As it is used with care, it becomes more austere and atmospheric, and its color changes to a deeper shade.

Seigado has a workshop at the foot of Mt. Yahiko in Niigata Prefecture, where high quality copper was discovered about 300 years ago and "Tsuiki'', the technique of hammering copperware has developed since then.

ABOUT SEIGADO

Seigado has a workshop at the foot of Mt. Yahiko in Niigata Prefecture, where high quality copper was discovered about 300 years ago and tsuiki, the technique of hammering copperware has developed since then. Tsuiki is a metalworking technique that is derived from the words 'hammer' and 'raise', so this process literally means hammering and embossing copperware products. The traces of the hammering, the process of making are left as beautiful patterns on the products. There's a saying in Japan that things improve with good use, and Seigado's products have a charm that naturally makes us want to take good care of them.

About japanese metal crafts

In Japan, gold, silver, copper, tin, and iron are called "Gokin (five metals)" and have been used as materials for metalworking since ancient times. Each metal has a different luster, workability, strength, thermal conductivity, heat retention, moisture resistance, corrosion resistance, etc., and techniques to utilize these characteristics have developed in various regions.From daily necessities such as pots, kettles, and accessories to works of art that represent the times such as tea ceremony utensils, Japanese swords, and Buddhist bells, a wide variety of metalwork has been produced in each era.
