About Tokoname ware

Tokoname ware (常滑焼, Tokoname-yaki) is a type of Japanese pottery, stoneware, and ceramics produced in and around Aichi, Japan. Tokoname was the location of one of the six Antient Kilns of Japan and it dates back to the 12th century.

About this Kyusu (teapot) by Isshin

This is a beautiful teapot made by Isshin, a Tokoname ware artist.
The strainer made of ceramic is called ‘Ceramesh’ and this is the reason why Tokoname ware teapots are widely trusted.

It’s easy to hold and the spout is comfortable, and the tea strainer is sophisticated.

You can enjoy tea as well as Tokoname’s iron rich clay, which is said to remove the tannin (bitterness) of tea and make your tea milder.
