beauty on the bottle with the latest technology.
FUJI
Japanese symbol "FUJI"
Mt. Fuji is a true Japanese symbol,
regarded as a very special mountain.
Its majestic appearance is firmly established in the minds of Japanese people.
“Sakasa Fuji” in particular refers to views
of Mt.Fuji seen as reflections in a lake, and is considered to bring good luck.

Mt.Fuji are beautifully
expressed with a delicate
finish applied by intensive hammer strokes.

with hands that dates back centuries.
Girls would bounce temari as they sang songs.
A ball of cotton is wound around and around tightly
using many differently colored thread.
This results in beautifully colored attractive geometric patterns.
Colorful temari were made by families as
an everyday toy that happened
to be extraordinarily beautiful.

interlacing colorful fine silk threads,
cotton yarns .“Mizuhiki” is a special decoration for gifts,
made with beautifully knotted cords.
These cords are regarded as a unique Japanese “tying” culture.
They can also be found in the ceremonial robes worn for Shinto rituals,
and are believed to connect souls. Special knots are used to transfer thoughts
in other traditional customs as well. It is rugged and rich in preservability and
As well as being gorgeous artforms, Kumihimo and
Mizuhiki are a delicate and profound artform.
SAKURA
Japan's most appreciated blossam "SAKURA"
Sakura blossoms are associated the most as
Japan’s representative flower,
blooming for just a short period during
spring and fallingsoon. The transient
beauty of sakura attracts people.
Sakura is often chosen as a subject in various crafts,
probably as efforts to retain its distinctive beauty.
Cloisonné ware known as “shippo-yaki” can beautifully express the soft,
blurry tone of the delicate thin petals
that translucently overlap each other by use of glazes.
ARARE
Japanese winter scene “ARARE”
“Arare”,hail in Japan is often seen during very cold mornings and evenings,
falling smoothly for a limited time.
People fascinated by
hail’s delicate graciousness created
“arare monyou” or hail patterns.
The arare monyou pattern is
often applied to castiron kettles.
It’s easy to imagine scenes where people are
enjoying cups of hot tea on a cold winter morning.
Paulownia box and washi
Each one is wrapped manually in a dedicated paulownia box and Japanese paper bag.
Paulownia box
Paulownia wood is lightweight and has excellent moisture resistance,
and its beautiful grain makes it an elegant tree.
The paulownia box dedicated to the bottles is carefully crafted by skilled craftsmen who specialize in wooden boxes that store traditional crafts such as rice bowl and paintings.
Stored in such boxes, the bottle delivers traditional ”technique” and “heart”.
A craft-like bottle in a paulownia box will be appreciated as a memorable gift for loved ones.

The delicate sheer feeling and touch can be enjoyed by both watching and touching, and it will surely remain in the hearts of important people.
PRODUCTS
FUJI, TEMARI, MUSUBI, SAKURA and ARARE. Each of the traditional aesthetics is reproduced in a rich three-dimensionality with advanced technology that repeatedly adds finely tuned colors and fine patterns.
Carefully produced with an attention to detail piece by piece at the factory in Japan in a concentrated technique from Tiger's many years of experience producing stainless steel bottles. The mouth of the bottle, made of stainless is rounded off to feel smooth when drinking.
The carefully polished inner bottle has a smooth surface created by our "super clean finished process". Stainless steel has been also used for the lid to resist dirt and rust, ensuring it is always cleanly usable.
"Kasane" technology that reproduces the traditional aesthetic of Japan
The biggest feature of this bottle is its texture.
To reproduce the texture of real traditional crafts,
We have adopted the technology we have cultivated and the latest technology.
The decisive factor in expressing the texture is the three-dimensional effect.
The touch of the motif is reproduced by creating a three-dimensional effect by
carefully layering the color and fine patterns.
In order to accurately express these, such as the complex unevenness feeling
that a hard metal is delicately beaten with a hammer,
and the delicate texture of a combination of colorful threads one by one,
We adopt a different layering method for each motif.

COMPANY
What is "Tiger Corporation"?
In 1923, Tiger Corporation was
established in Osaka by Takenori Kikuchi.
At just the age of thirteen, he was sent to serve out an apprenticeship away from home.
Every time he had to eat a stone-cold meal after working late,
he remembered the warmth of the hot tea
his mother had served when he was at home.
He wanted to be able to let everyone enjoy a cup of
hot tea to warm their bodies and
hearts at any time. That was the start of Tiger Corporation.
At the time, most vacuum bottles were made of glass and very fragile.
With much trial and error, Takenori thought of
placing a layer of cardboard between
the inner and outer containers to protect the glass.
When Japan suffered the Great Kanto Earthquake also in 1923,
only Tiger vacuum bottles remained intact among the
different products on shop shelves.
Today when over 90 years have passed since its inception,
Tiger remains committed to developing its products with creative ideas.
Tiger’s thermos bottle technology was
also used in space experiments.
Tiger was in charge of the development of vacuum double insulated containers
storing precious space experiment samples in a HTV Small Re-entry Capsule
(developed for installation in the space station refueling machine Kounotori 7)
bringing supplies from the International Space Station (ISS) to the Earth.
On November 11, 2018, the HTV Small Re-entry Capsule returned to the Earth withstanding
the strong impact during landing while keeping the experimental samples
from the International Space Station at about 4℃.
