It's a unique Japanese woodcraft using the bark of wild cherry trees, and is known worldwide as a craft made from a rare material. The bark of the wild cherry tree is harvested, dried in the shade for over a year to remove moisture, and then processed by craftsmen one by one by hand. It features unique techniques such as using the resin of the bark as an adhesive and polishing to create an iridescent sheen. It began as a side job for samurai in the late Edo period, and has a history of about 240 years. Cherry bark is said to "breathe," and tea canisters made from wild cherry bark have excellent humidity control. They don't completely shut out the outside air, so there's no need to worry about condensation. They keep the humidity inside the canister low and constant, allowing you to store tea, coffee, etc., in a condition close to natural. ⚠️This item is made of cherry bark even on the inside. The quality is incomparable to those with tin or plastic interiors. Please pay attention to the material of the interior and lid! Although the retail price is unknown, it appears to be in the range of 10,000 to 20,000 yen. If used with care, it will last a lifetime, so please consider it! ^_^
