These cedar tea boxes are handcrafted one by one by a select few artisans across Japan. They are traditional wooden boxes that have been used since the late Edo period to preserve and transport tea leaves in their freshest state.
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.

■ Special order points
