IROIRO Tea Canister 8.1 fl oz

This compact canister brings a calm, grounded presence to any tea ritual. Its size makes it easy to hold and simple to care for; the opening is wide enough for a hand to reach in, so wiping it clean feels intuitive. Available in beige, gray, and black, the three shades each offer their own tone, from deep and centered to soft and airy, yet all remain subtle enough to blend naturally with the objects around them. 

Although minimal in shape, the surface carries a warmth that only natural materials can offer. Ultra-fine sand gives the exterior a refined, velvety touch, and if you look closely, you’ll see tiny mineral grains glimmer softly under the light. When the lid closes, it meets the canister with a clean, satisfying fit—producing a soft click that feels reassuring. The overall design removes unnecessary elements, creating a rational, clutter-free shape that supports a stress-free tea moment or a brief digital detox during a busy day.

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. With an 8.1 fl oz capacity, it comfortably holds loose-leaf tea, triangle-shaped tea bags, or anything small that deserves a dedicated place, snacks, spices, or everyday essentials. It adapts easily from a tea storage to a food container to a small-item organizer, depending on the setting. Whatever you choose to store inside, it brings a touch of order and calm to daily life.

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.
