These cedar tea boxes are carefully handcrafted one by one by a handful of craftsmen across the country.
This is a traditional wooden box that has been used since the late Edo period to store and transport fresh tea leaves.
The inside is lined with galvanized iron to protect against moisture and insects, maintaining its excellent functionality. Because it is unpainted, the refreshing scent of cedar fills the air every time you open it. It can store not only tea leaves, but also rice, dried foods, medicine, clothing, cameras, photographs, and other important items while protecting them from moisture and insects. While simple, this tea box, with its focus on materials and functionality, can also be enjoyed as a rice storage box or interior decoration.
