The Kyoto craftsman keeping his family's 144-year-old legacy alive by hand | Remarkable Living
Established in 1875, at a time when Imperial Japan opened its doors to the outside world, Kaikado designed, produced and sold Japan’s first tin chazatsu, or tea caddy.
Back then, tea caddies were typically made of china or earthernware. Double-walled and air-tight, Kaikado’s tin caddies were considered groundbreaking. It kept humidity out and helped preserve the flavour and quality of freshly-picked tea leaves for a year. Remember, refrigerators had not yet been invented.
Takahiro Yagi is the sixth generation owner and artisan craftsman at Kaikado, which remains a family-run business today.
