Tokoname Blue Kyusu - Tosen Kiln

Crafted using the intricate nerikomi (練り込み) technique, this kyusu represents the pinnacle of Tokoname pottery's artistic legacy. Tosen Kiln, a distinguished workshop within the historic Tokoname ceramic tradition, has been perfecting the art of clay manipulation for generations.

The kyusu showcases a mesmerizing marbled pattern, blending ivory and golden-yellow clays into a unique, swirling design. Its built-in ceramic sasame filter ensures smooth, effortless tea preparation, with a wide shape that prevents clogging and allows for optimal tea leaf expansion.

Tokoname-yaki emerges from one of Japan's Six Ancient Kilns, a ceramic tradition spanning over 800 years in Aichi Prefecture. While the region is renowned for its iconic brick-red shudei clay, Tosen Kiln demonstrates the versatility and artistic innovation possible within this time-honored craft.

Tosen Kiln has been a respected name in Tokoname ceramics for decades, known for preserving traditional techniques while continuously pushing the boundaries of ceramic artistry. Each piece tells a story of meticulous craftsmanship, cultural heritage, and the subtle art of tea preparation.

A masterpiece that transforms the simple act of brewing tea into a moment of aesthetic appreciation.
