Gato Mikio

Gato Mikio is a fourth-generation Japanese woodcraft studio from Yamanaka Onsen, renowned for its precision-turned wooden tea canisters, trays, and tableware. Every piece—like the award-winning Karmi tea canister—is meticulously handcrafted using traditional techniques such as wood-turning (kijibiki) and finished with natural lacquer (fuki-urushi) to enhance the natural grain.

These minimalist Japanese containers are designed for both beauty and function—ideal for storing loose leaf tea, coffee, spices, and dry goods. Whether you're building a refined tea setup or searching for a thoughtful Japanese gift, Gato Mikio’s artisan creations blend timeless design with everyday practicality.
