We worked closely with an artisan in Mie Prefecture to design this kyusu to fine specification. Made entirely by hand, each of these kyusu is one-of-a-kind—a companion to be cared for and treasured over a lifetime of tea drinking.

With a pleasing round shape and textured surface, the design of this teapot is a joy at every session. A tight-fitting lid allows tea to pour quickly without leaking. The spout directs the flow into a quick, smooth arc. And, the interior is finished with white glaze, showcasing the tea leaves inside the pot.

Unglazed and made from red clay, this teapot is fired to have a coarse outer texture. Over time, the surface will begin to smooth, gaining a feel and appearance that is unique to your touch.

Artisans working in the centuries-old Banko-yaki tradition are known for their kyusu, and the clay in the region is appropriately sturdy and retains heat well. The Banko-yaki artisan who handcrafts our original Yakishime Kyusu works consistently with a beautiful touch.
