Inoue Tea Mitsubachi Hana Yellow Tokoname-yaki Kyusu - Japanese Teapot

This beautifully crafted Kyusu teapot features a warm honey-yellow hue embellished with delicate, hand-drawn floral motifs, capturing the essence of summer's gentle touch. Made from premium Tokoname clay (Shudo), it exudes a refined elegance that highlights the natural allure of Shudoro clay.

Tokoname-yaki 常滑焼 represents one of Japan's six oldest pottery traditions, boasting a rich heritage that spans over a millennium. Situated in Aichi prefecture, Tokoname is celebrated for its exceptional ceramic craftsmanship, tracing its roots back to one of Japan's Six Ancient Kilns.

This teapot is equipped with a "banded mesh strainer," expertly designed to effectively contain tea leaves during the steeping process. This innovative feature guarantees the strainer's functionality is maintained, irrespective of how the tea leaves are directed within the Kyusu.

Kyusu (急須) are traditional Japanese teapots, primarily crafted from high-quality, fired volcanic clay. The term "Kyusu" translates directly to "teapot," and it typically refers to a design that includes a convenient side handle for easy pouring.
