Shudei Sujibiki Rokkasenbori Tea Set

Master Koie Hiroshi's artwork.

Master Koie, holder of Intangible Cultural Properties in Tokoname, blends traditional ceramic techniques with his own innovative style, and the result is unique, exquisite masterpieces. Master Koie's ceramics are highly appreciated, his artwork was even chosen to serve the Emperor and Empress themselves at an important cultural ceremony organized yearly in Tokoname.

The set is made of red clay, fired in an oxidation chamber. Master Koie developed his own style in shaping the tea strainer, making it large and flat with tiny holes ensuring a fast and smooth pouring.

The engravings on the teapot and the cups are the work of the sculptor Yosui Koie, master Koie's wife. The texts carved with beautiful calligraphy are poems of the Rokkasen, "six poetry immortals" from the mid-ninth century.

The tea set contains a teapot, one smaller and one larger teacup, a cotton tea cloth with the sigil of the artist and a paulownia box, signed and sealed by the artist.

The set is recommended for green teas, houjicha or genmaicha.
