Susumuya was founded in 2012 by Mr. Kotaro Shinbara, who was born in a long-established wholesale store in Satsuma that has been engaged in the tea industry for generation after generations. He is a grandson of Mr. Nijiro Shinbara who's known as the "Father of Kagoshima Tea."
This tea canister was created over several years with designer Mr. Masanori Oji and manufacturer Futagami. The sealability achieved by the naturally closing cover and the galvanization process that maintains the condition of the tea leaves, as well as the beautiful design without any excess decoration is some of the characteristics of Susumuya's Tea Canister. It is, indeed, the fruit of technologies of all parties concerned.
Please use it for ever and ever, as a tea canister that will last a lifetime, enjoying the profound aging process that is typical to brass.
I am extremely happy with the Susumuya Tea Canister. I was expecting a beautiful and functional object but the actual product is absolutely stunning in every detail - it exceeded my already high expectations.
The weight, balance and extreme accuracy of every part of the canister shows the truly extraordinary height of artisanship of every designer and manufacturer working to achieve this product. It gives my family delight every time it is used.
Thank you for your thoughtful communication and delivery. Please pass on my sincere appreciation to Shinbara-san and his team.
