Description
Celebrating 150 years of craftsmanship, ‘Kaikado’ offers an intimate look inside the Kyoto workshop of Japan’s iconic tea caddy, or ‘chazutsu’, makers. With richly detailed photography and bilingual storytelling, this hardcover book explores six generations of artisanal precision, the tools and hands behind each piece, and a legacy of design “refined to the point of almost being plain”.

AGOBAY Showroom ZurichSensitively reflecting Kaikado’s long-standing legacy with their choice of materials, this book is printed on two high-quality paper stocks with metallic inks reflecting the materiality of the tea caddy, or ‘chazutsu’ – this also extends to the cover, which has a brass effect. Chapters are separated by tactile, richly textured paper echoing Kaikado’s distinct packaging, and the open-spine binding – often seen in Japanese publishing – underscores the luxurious construction of the book.
