Gato Mikio is a fourth-generation woodcraft studio from Yamanaka Onsen, a region long known for its lacquerware and refined woodworking traditions. The studio is especially recognized for its precision-turned wooden tea canisters, trays, and tableware, each shaped with meticulous care and finished with natural lacquer to highlight the beauty of the wood grain.

These minimalist containers balance form and function. Designed for storing loose tea, coffee, spices, and other dry goods, they bring quiet craftsmanship and everyday practicality into the kitchen or tea space.

Objects made to be used daily—and appreciated for years.
