IROIRO Tea Canister 15.2 fl oz

This 450 ml (15.2 fl oz) tea canister brings a sense of stillness to any space. Its form is upright and composed, almost as if standing with confidence. Available in beige, gray, and black, the three shades each offer a different mood: grounding, light, or neutral. The colors remain subtle, allowing the piece to harmonize easily with its surroundings, while the refined profile adds a touch of gentle sophistication. 

The canister’s cylindrical shape is intentionally simple, allowing the natural character of the clay to come forward. Ultra-fine sand is used in the finishing process, giving the surface a smooth texture; look closely and you’ll see tiny mineral grains catching the light. The opening is wide enough for a hand to reach inside, making cleaning intuitive and effortless. When the lid closes, it meets the body with satisfying precision, producing a soft, reassuring sound that signals everything is aligned.

These key steps rely entirely on skilled hands: attaching the knob, adjusting the fit of the lid, and the subtle futazuri (lid rubbing) process that achieves a perfect, satisfying seal. It comfortably holds loose-leaf tea, triangle-shaped tea bags, or anything small that deserves a dedicated place, snacks, spices, or everyday essentials.

JINSUI

In Tokoname, Aichi Prefecture, the leading region for Japanese teapot production with nearly 90 percent of the domestic share, JINSUI carries forward a legacy that began in the Edo period. Using the fine clay and inherited craftsmanship that define Tokoname pottery, the kiln continues to create teaware such as ceramic teapots, teacups, and tea canisters, balancing precision and minimalist design. Every delicate piece invites you to enjoy toki-wasure—moments when time softly slips away over tea.

Tokoname Ware

Crafted in Tokoname City, Aichi Prefecture, Tokoname ware has been at the heart of Japanese ceramics for centuries. As one of Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns, the town is known for its rich pottery heritage and masterful craftsmanship. Among its most iconic creations are shudei kyusu—unglazed red clay teapots prized for mellowing the taste of green tea.

From its distinctive vermilion hue to the refined wheel-thrown form, Tokoname teaware continues to shape everyday tea moments with beauty, function, and tradition.
