Persimmon Yamanaka Lacquerware Tea Canister
It is a unique tea canister in the shape of a persimmon. It has an inner lid to keep tea leaves in the best condition. The reddish-brown lacquer coating is finished to bring out the beautiful grain of the wood, and the smooth shape and details are elaborately crafted by Yamanaka lacquerware's woodworking technique.
Just by placing it on a dining table or cupboard, it becomes an eye-catching decorative item. Also, depending on your ideas, it would be great to put not only Japanese tea but also other small items in it.
It cannot be washed in water to avoid humidity. We recommend care with the cloth included.
This set comes in a wooden box, making it a perfect gift for Japanese tea lovers.
