This gaiwan, Maekawa Junzō's artwork, is a perfect example of simple elegance. It is a medium-sized gaiwan, ideal for any Chinese or Taiwanese tea.
The teapot is made of “honshudei” clay, which is extremely rare and highly sought after today. During the urbanization of Tokoname, as in many other cities, new residential areas were built on land previously used as rice fields. At that time, clay was collected from beneath those rice fields. To this day, this clay—now approximately 50 years old—is still used for honshudei ceramics.
Honshudei clay has a yellowish-brown color that turns red during firing due to its high iron content. This teapot was fired in an oxidation chamber at a lower temperature over a longer period of time, which gives the finish its warmer tone. With continual use, the surface will gradually become smoother and develop a natural shine.

Handling precautions
Initiation:
Before first use, rinse it with hot water, then let it dry completely!
Usage:
Avoid placing it on hot surfaces, like stove, and never use it in microwave or oven.
Cleaning:
Tea stain is the natural part of a teapot's "maturing process", but if you prefer to avoid it, rinse the teapot well after every use, do not let the tea leaves sit in it for too long. It is better to avoid dishwashing liquid, but you can use gentle, organic soap to clean your pot. Never use bleach!
Avoid using dishwasher or dryer!
Storage:
After use, always let it dry completely, for if stored away while still wet, it might develop an unpleasant smell or mold.
Non-glazed ceramic teapots absorb scents and flavours, so only prepare one kind of tea in them (green tea, black tea, roasted tea, etc).
