Yamada Yūtaro Mogake Hiramaru Kyusu

It is easy to control the amount of water thanks to the big mouth and the flat form of this teapot. Viewing the tea leaves is easy and comfortable.
The artist collected the clay himself from the mountains around Tokoname and made this teapot out of it after purifying the clay.
The decoration is made with the Mogake technique, developed in the 19th century; they wrap the clay teapot with Amamo seaweed and during the firing in the kiln, the reaction between the minerals of the seaweed and the teapot creates a unique oxidized and burned pattern on the surface, resembling golden lightning on the dark sky.
The round built-in strainer was also hand made by the artist, making each hole separately.
This teapot is suitable for either Japanese, Chinese or Taiwanese teas.

Place of Origin: Tokoname, Japan
