The traditional teapot is handmade in Japan and hand painted with plum blossoms & Mt. Fuji. Plum blossoms had a high status in Japan even before cherry blossoms.
With 550ml, the Kyusu has a very high capacity. Perfect for guests or the thirsty green tea fan.
The integrated tea strainer fits like a belt (obi) around the inside of the tea bowl & its fine pores keep even the finest fukamushi tea clean.
The optional removable stainless steel tea strainer allows the tea to stay in the pot longer without the tea continuing to steep. Optimal for enjoying tea alone.
The lid and its support surface are ground to fit each other precisely. This manufacturing method shows the high quality and dedication in the production.
Tokoname has been known worldwide for over 1000 years for its natural clay pottery. Throughout the city you can admire sights made of clay.
When cleaning, you should only use water & no detergents. The clay inside the kyusu could otherwise absorb unwanted substances or damage the bowl.
