・About Banko-yaki
Banko-yaki dates back to the era of Genbun (1736-1740), during the Edo period, when the merchant-turned-craftsman Nunami Rozan of Kuwana, who was captivated by the Way of Tea, built a pottery to make teaware and other goods in what is today Obuke, located in the town of Asahi in Mie Prefecture.
The seeds of one man’s hobby have grown into a world-renowned class of pottery, of which the Shidei Kyusu—recognized as a “Traditional Craft” by the Japanese Minister of Economy in 1979—is a proud symbol. Today, there are more than 100 banko-yaki potteries centering around the cities of Yokkaichi and Komono in Mie Prefecture.
The potter’s clay mainly used for Banko teapots, called the red Banko clay, is rich in iron, and when the clay is fired with reduction fire without the application of a glaze, the heated iron in the body changes its color to purplish-brown color unique to Banko teapots. It is said that the more the teapots are used, the more their aesthetic beauty and luster increase. The shidei (literally “purple mud”) Banko teapots unglazed purplish-brown finish reacts with the tannic acid naturally found in tea, moderately absorbing the bitterness of tealeaves, therefore, bringing out the flavor or the taste in a great balance.
Although shidei teapot is the main product of Banko-yaki, Banko-yaki teaware has a great diversity in its styles and shapes to such an extent that they say “the stamp of Banko is the only noticeable feature.” Therefore, we deal in merchandise of various other works along with shidei teapots.
