Obizutsu Tea Caddy (Large) / Silky Oak

$337.00
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

The Obizutsu series features the cherry bark as an obi or kimono sash around the mouth of the caddy. By having a shorter lid, the cherry bark around the inner cylinder is revealed and it creates an interesting visual contrast that adds an accent to the design. This tea caddy takes full advantage of the materials and crafting techniques peculiar to the traditional Japanese cherry bark craft.
