The "Shiawase no Mon'yō" (Patterns of Happiness) series focuses on the "wish for happiness" inherent in traditional Japanese patterns. It is an original design created in collaboration with textile designers for Fuwa Market.

One of the series, the Pine pattern, symbolizes "longevity and eternal youth" because it retains green leaves throughout the year and endures harsh cold weather.

The motifs, considered auspicious, have been modernized to suit contemporary lifestyles.

✔ Dedicated craftsmanship: Carefully finished one by one at specialized factories
✔ Modern traditional patterns: Six types of patterns available in two colors each, offering a variety of choices
✔ Double lid structure: An outer lid and an inner lid to preserve the freshness and aroma of tea
✔ Perfect for high-quality gifts: "Shiawase no Mon'yō" conveys special sentiments

Keeps tea leaves beautifully protected, enriching your tea time.

The tea canister has a capacity of 150g. Made from lightweight, rust-resistant, durable steel. It offers high light-blocking properties and minimal odor transfer, ensuring the flavor of the tea leaves is preserved.

The inner lid is also made of steel, providing a tight seal that protects the tea leaves from moisture and maintains freshness. The inner lid features a handle for smooth opening and closing.

It is suitable for storing items that require protection from humidity, such as matcha, tea bags, herbal teas, coffee beans, dried foods, spices, and sweets, as it maintains appropriate humidity and temperature.

You can also fill it with sweets or tea as a small gift, or use it as a storage container for small items.

This item, with its calm appearance and practicality, is a reliable companion for everyday tea time, subtly supporting your moments of relaxation.

Details that highlight the charm of hand-dyeing

The washi paper used for this tea canister is an original Fuwa Market design. It is hand-dyed by yuzen washi dyeing artisans at a specialized factory in Kyoto, each piece crafted by hand.

The traditional techniques produce rich colors and a unique texture. When viewed up close, the delicate layering of colors characteristic of hand-dyeing is evident.

Subtle gradations and bleeding enhance the handcrafted feel, creating a one-of-a-kind beauty.

Each print is carefully dyed to produce depth and warmth that cannot be achieved with simple printing.

The finishing touches emphasize Japanese beauty, with attention to detail that allows you to appreciate the craftsmanship and the meaning behind traditional patterns every time you use it.

Please experience the warmth and texture created by the artisans' craftsmanship.

Pine symbolizes prosperity

The pine tree has long been cherished as a sacred symbol by the Japanese.

Its evergreen leaves during the cold winter symbolize "longevity and eternal youth," and the fact that male and female flowers bloom on the same tree signifies "prosperity of descendants."

Since the Edo period, it has been regarded as a divine plant, depicted on Noh stage walls, used to make kadomatsu (New Year’s pine decorations) to welcome the Toshigami (New Year deity), and has become an essential part of both entertainment and daily life.

The vigorous vitality and beauty of the pine continue to be loved by many people today.

Colors available are:

- Green, a healing color
- Warm orange

Both are subdued yet distinctive, making them perfect for enhancing your tea time.

*Please note that, since the patterns are made by cutting large sheets of paper, there may be individual differences in pattern placement. Thank you for your understanding.*
