Nashi-ji Yakishime Kyusu (Pear-Skin Finish Unglazed Teapot)

A simple and sophisticated kyusu (Japanese teapot) featuring the beautiful, natural texture of the clay. Crafted with a commitment to brewing delicious tea, drawing on years of experience studying the Ogawa-ryu Sencha (green tea) ceremony. This teapot is perfect for brewing a variety of teas, including Japanese, Taiwanese, and Chinese varieties. This kyusu is formed on a potter's wheel using fine-grained Shigaraki clay, then meticulously carved and finished. The subtle texture of the nashi-ji (pear-skin finish) creates a deep and nuanced aesthetic. The interior is glazed, and the fine mesh tea filter holes are individually pierced. It pours smoothly with excellent drip prevention, and the lid fits snugly with a satisfying smooth closure. This piece is the result of careful time invested from its creation to its final finish. It is also recommended as a gift for those who enjoy tea. As you use it, the clay surface will deepen in richness, allowing you to appreciate its evolving character over time.
