Shōhō Kiln Tokoname Kyusu Teapot

Rooted in the millennium-old ceramic tradition of Tokoname, this kyusu embodies the exceptional craftsmanship of Japan's most renowned pottery region. Crafted from shudei—the iconic brick-red clay prized for its rich iron content—this teapot transforms tea brewing into an art form.

The signature side-handle design (yokode kyusu) ensures perfect balance and precise pouring, while the integrated clay mesh "sasame" filter allows tea leaves to unfurl and extract with unparalleled precision. As an unglazed vessel, each kyusu develops a unique patina that enhances the tea's flavor with every brewing.

Emerging from one of Japan's Six Ancient Kilns, this 200-300ml teapot is perfectly sized for the traditional Japanese method of multiple short infusions, making it an essential piece for green tea enthusiasts and ceramic collectors alike.

A testament to Tokoname's legendary pottery heritage—where every pour tells a story of centuries-old craftsmanship.
