Details highlighting the charm of hand-dyed craftsmanship:
The washi paper used for this tea canister is an original product of Fuwa Market. It is hand-dyed by Yuzen washi dyeing artisans at a specialized factory in Kyoto.
The traditional techniques produce deep, rich colors and a unique texture. When viewed up close, the delicate overlapping 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, resulting in 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 skill of artisans and the meaning behind traditional patterns every time you use it.
Please experience the warmth and texture created by the artisans’ craftsmanship.
The Wishes and Prayers Embedded in the Ginkgo Pattern:
The Ginkgo’s sparkle symbolizes "good luck."
In autumn, ginkgo trees line streets. Their fan-shaped leaves turn yellow, carpeting roads in gold—like scenes from a picture book.
This stylish ginkgo is full of vitality, with some trees exceeding 1,000 years of age. Its life force is considered sacred, often seen as sacred trees at temples and shrines.
People have long wished for longevity from the ginkgo’s vigorous vitality, for good fortune from its spreading leaves, and for improved financial luck from its golden color.
Color options include:
- Warm yellow tones- Elegant gray tones
Both are subdued yet distinctive, making them perfect accessories to brighten tea time.
*Please note:* Since the pattern is cut from large sheets of paper, there may be individual differences in pattern placement. Thank you for your understanding.
