Large Cherry Bark Japanese Tea Caddy

Warm, natural, and made to last a lifetime — the Large Cherry Bark Japanese Tea Caddy is handmade in Japan using the centuries-old craft of Kabazaiku (樺皮細工), in which skilled artisans apply the bark of wild cherry trees to create pieces of exceptional beauty and durability. This is the larger size caddy, offering generous capacity for loose-leaf tea storage. The rich natural grain and warm tones of the cherry bark make every caddy unique. A precision-fitting inner lid and solid wooden outer lid protect your tea from air and moisture, preserving freshness and aroma. Tea is not included.

✦ A Little Piece of Japan

樺皮細工 — Kabazaiku — cherry bark craft

Kabazaiku (樺皮細工) is a traditional Japanese craft that originated in Kakunodate, Akita Prefecture, over 200 years ago. Designated as a National Traditional Craft of Japan, it involves the careful application of wild cherry bark (山桜 — yamazakura) to wooden forms — a technique that requires years of training to master. The bark is prized for its natural lustre, smooth finish, and distinctive grain, and is known to become more beautiful with age and handling. Each piece is individually handcrafted, meaning no two are ever identical.

At Tokyo Gallery, we believe you are not just buying a tea caddy. You are learning something meaningful — and bringing a little piece of Japan home.

✦ Perfect For

Tea lovers, collectors of traditional Japanese craft, birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, housewarmings, and anyone who appreciates authentic Japanese culture and craftsmanship.
