Icchin involves loading slip (liquid clay) into a piping bag, and trailing it onto the pot to create designs with dimension. On this piece, each shippo-mon is further accented by alternating dots of silver and gold at their centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYuzamashi are used to cool down boiling water to a temperature more suitable for brewing green tea. When poured into a yuzamashi, boiling water cools to roughly 90°C, which then will cool to roughly 80°C when poured into a cold teapot. To cool water further, you can either let it sit in the yuzamashi for longer, or pour it into cups and then into the teapot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis yuzamashi was made by Takashima Shinichi (高島 慎一) of Kōshun Kiln (洸春窯), a third generation potter who specialises in cochin-style wares (kōchi-yaki).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Takashima Shinichi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45548308496428,"sku":"US-Y13","price":79.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/9174\/7116\/files\/1yCGyYWsE6Ny8Y0COhpPwzOXscaWw-uPP.jpg?v=1779029178","url":"https:\/\/rak1pm-kn.myshopify.com\/products\/icchin-shippo-yuzamashi-90ml","provider":"NEBULAPRIMEX ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
