Mount Fuji and Crane tea tin - 2 colors

A small Japanese tea tin with a retro charm, inspired by the landscapes and traditional symbols of Japan.

With its look of a small antique tin and its character-filled illustrations, this 40g Japanese tin plate tea tin evokes the vintage labels of Japanese tea merchants. Made in Japan, it combines a matte finish with colorful designs inspired by the world of woodblock prints and traditional Japanese imagery.

Its round and compact format, accompanied by a matching lid, gives it a simple and authentic charm. On the top, a circular illustration recalls old commercial labels, with the inscriptions "Japan Tea" and "Extra Choicest".

Two colors and designs are available, sold separately:

- Blue – Mount Fuji: on a deep blue background, the lid depicts Mount Fuji overlooking a lush landscape, accompanied by figures in traditional clothing. The red rays of the rising sun and the retro inscriptions bring a warm touch to this Japanese-inspired scene.

- Red – Japanese Crane: this vivid red version features a white crane with wings spread, flying over a landscape where water, vegetation, and a mountainous horizon mingle. The softly hued illustration contrasts beautifully with the intense color of the tin.

In Japanese culture, Mount Fuji holds a special place in art and landscapes, while the crane, called Tsuru, is traditionally associated with longevity and good fortune.

The matte finish of the tin plate highlights the colors without excessive shine. With its advertised capacity of 40g, this small tin is suitable for storing small quantities of loose leaf tea, depending on the volume of the leaves.

Placed next to a teapot, tucked on a shelf, or given as a gift to a Japanese tea lover, it brings a nostalgic and colorful note to everyday life.
