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, blending tradition with modern design.

✔ 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

Keeps tea leaves beautiful and secure, 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, also made of steel, provides a high level of airtightness, protecting the tea leaves from moisture and maintaining 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 to create a small gift, or use it as a storage container for small items.

This reliable item, with its calm appearance and practicality, quietly accompanies your daily tea time.

Details that highlight the charm of hand-dyed craftsmanship

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

Pine has long been cherished as a sacred symbol by the Japanese people.

Its ability to stay green even in the cold winter symbolizes "longevity and eternal youth," and the fact that male and female flowers bloom on the same plant signifies "prosperity of descendants."

Since the Edo period, pine has been regarded as a divine plant, depicted on Noh stage wall panels, 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 pine continue to be loved by many even today.

Colors available are:

- Green, a healing color
- Warm orange

Both are subdued yet distinctive, making them perfect accessories to enhance your tea time.

*Please note that, as the patterns are cut from large sheets of paper, there may be individual differences in pattern placement. Thank you for your understanding.*
