About this craft

Tsubame-Sanjo, in Niigata Prefecture, has been Japan's metalware capital since the Edo period. The region is renowned for hand-hammered and hand-polished copper and brass vessels. Asahi carries on this 400-year tradition using traditional techniques and pure copper.

Description

Hand-polished hammered copper tea canister, Tsubame-Sanjo crafted

Wash by hand; dry immediately. Copper will oxidize and develop natural patina over time—this is normal and desirable. Buff lightly with soft cloth to restore shine if desired. Avoid dishwasher and prolonged water contact. Store tea in airtight container inside canister to keep leaves fresh.
