Tea caddy happa (Yukio Hashimoto)

[A tea caddy designed with playful sense of humor by adding a leaf-shaped tea scoop, which makes it look like a cherry tree with a growing leaf]

This Kaba-zaiku tea caddy adds a twist to the conventional form. The leaf-shaped tea scoop fits into a slot on the top on the tea caddy. It reflects the playful mind of the craft artist, who envisioned this tea-caddy as a cherry tree with a single leaf. In addition, the tea scoop, which is made of tin, has a delicate design of leaf veins on both sides. By setting the tea caddy and the tea scoop together, this product is practical while having an elegant appearace.
