A standard tea caddy with a knob-less design that enables the inner lid to be used as a tea scoop when putting tea leaves into the teapot. It is constructed using a special technique used to make cylinders for tea caddies, which is known as the "Katamono" technique. The cherry barks are glued or pressed onto wood, wrapped around a cylindrical mold, and then ironed with a heated trowel. The pattern of cherry bark is known as Natural, in which the surface is thinly scraped and polished to a high shine. This Suzutsu series has won the Good Design Award in 2013.
