Tokoname teapot with a special "oil drop" glaze
Handmade teapot from the Shōryū Kiln.
Yuteki Tenmoku glaze got its name from a remote Chinese temple it was first used, on the Tianmu (Tenmoku in Japanese and Heaven's Eye in English) Mountain. From the 13th century, monks in this temple drank their tea from tea bowls glazed with a special technique called yuteki (literally meaning “oil drop”). Tenmoku glazes can range in color and pattern, which makes every glazed piece unique with the impression of randomness, which has both aesthetic and philosophical appeal to the Japanese.
The teapot has yōhen finish. Yōhen in Japanese means "changed by the flame". When the teapot is fired, the heat fluctuates in the kiln, which results in color changes on the surface.

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 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!
To clean the built-in strainer, run water backwards from the spout, or use a toothbrush or toothpick.
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 tea pots absorb scents and flavours, so only prepare one kind of tea in them (green tea, black tea, roasted tea, etc).

Really lovely teapot, it pours precisely, it is very light and thin walled, good filter, unique design with the tenmoku glaze, it has a water repelling property on the surface, my only complaint is that it is not 350 ml to the rim but 270 ml (most of the modern kyusu are this size so no big deal).
