Tokoname Kyusu Set by Junzo Maekawa

This authentic handcrafted Tokoname kyusu tea set features a beautifully textured teapot with two matching cups, personally crafted by renowned artisan Junzo Maekawa.

Each piece showcases a stunning speckled ash-gray glaze with subtle variations in tone and natural flecks throughout. The kyusu teapot features a graceful side handle, precisely positioned spout, and a mushroom-shaped lid that fits perfectly into the rounded body.

The ribbed texture visible on both the teapot and cups demonstrates Maekawa's skilled hand-throwing technique, while the earthy clay peeking through at the base adds rustic authenticity. The interior glaze features the same beautiful finish as the exterior, creating a seamless aesthetic.

Displayed on natural wood, this set exemplifies the wabi-sabi philosophy embraced by traditional Japanese tea culture—finding beauty in imperfection and appreciating the unique character that only handcrafted pottery can provide.

A functional work of art that elevates your tea experience while connecting you to centuries of Japanese ceramic tradition.
