Washi paper is one of Japan's most iconic materials. Made from kôzo fibres, it is at once strong, supple and slightly textured to the touch. Used here to cover a tinplate tea tin, it gives the object an unmistakable character.The blue floral motifs echo traditional Japanese ornamentation — that enduring habit of bringing nature into everyday objects. The tin fits naturally in a Japanese kitchen, on a tea tray, or wrapped as a thoughtful gift.Its airtight seal protects up to 200 g of tea leaves from odours, moisture and light.
