This expertly crafted Tokoname-yaki kyusu (teapot) is made in a rear-handled design, similar to Chinese and Western teapots. It is thrown from green ryokudei (緑泥) Tokoname clay. The body is decorated with a subtle pine bark textured that contrasts with the smooth spout and handle. Made using a small wheel, this texturing technique is called matsugawa (松皮 - pine bark) in Japanese.

The teapot's built-in ceramic sasame filter is perfect for naturally straining tea, with a wide shape for faster pouring and less clogging.

Made by the third-generation head of Sekiryū Kiln (石龍窯) who took over the kiln after her brother Hiroyuki Kamimura retired.
