It is subtly decorated in the shudashi (朱出し) style, in which a thin layer of the blackened clay is scraped off, revealing the brilliant vermillion of the shudei clay. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis kyusu's wide, flat shape and small size are specially designed to promote even contact between the leaves and the water, aiding the extraction of umami from high-grade sencha and gyokuro. It boasts a wide top opening so you can watch the leaves unfurl as they steep and clean them out more easily. This shape's sharp corners are prone to cracking under stress during the throwing and firing processes, so only extremely talented artisans can create them consistently\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe teapot's built-in ceramic sasame filter is perfect for naturally straining tea, with a wide shape for faster pouring and less clogging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMade by master craftsman Hiroyuki Kamimura, of Sekiryu Kiln (石龍窯).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDue to the nature of handmade ceramics, there may be slight variations in size, capacity, and appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sekiryū Kiln","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45548458344492,"sku":"US-K10","price":128.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/9174\/7116\/files\/1Eqn-OjSMm9YKV06FTmENg5lpEl8eqQWr.jpg?v=1779031549","url":"https:\/\/rak1pm-kn.myshopify.com\/products\/kokudei-shudashi-tokoname-teapot-110ml","provider":"NEBULAPRIMEX ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
