Empty can only Not sold in Japan Purchased in the UK When bringing it back, they were packed in an alternating manner, so there are slight dents where the metal parts touched. See photos 4, 7, and 8. It has a rubber gasket, so it's highly airtight. I removed all the tea, and I haven't opened and closed it repeatedly, so there are no scratches, and I think you can use it comfortably. I have a cardboard box that's perfect for shipping, so it will be listed for about a week.
