Tokoname teapot from the Gyokko Kiln
Handmade teapot by Koushi Umehara, Tokoname city.
More and more ceramic artists make this style of flat kyusu.
It is mentioned a lot, that this flat design is suitable for high-grade sencha or gyokuro, for these teas are prepared with low-temperature water and the flat form offers space for the leaves to open. This is true, but we can also recommend this teapot for any teas prepared with high-temperature water. it is a perfect teapot for your everyday Japanese green tea.

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 class of tea in them (green tea, black tea, roasted tea, etc).

Simple and sturdy built with a nice flow. Carries a generous volume of liquid with a good filtering capability. The plain matted black look compliments green teas. Weight is a tad hefty, slightly heavier than I would have liked. Size is also quite wide, may not be suitable for smaller hands.

I like how it handles, lid seals very well, the pour is pretty good. The handle is a bit small and not tapered at the end, so it digs a little bit into the skin, but since the whole thing is very light, it's barely noticeable. After a few uses, I'm very comfortable with it. Price-performance ratio is outstanding. Perfect brewing volume is anywhere between 120ml-150ml, a bit more or less is also OK. Filter is very fine for ceramic (I think as fukamushi-friendly as it gets for this type of filter), yet most of the time I can clean it by just running water through the spout (the important part is not to inadvertently push leaves in forcefully while emptying/cleaning it). I've also had to use the shower on a high-pressure setting a few times.

Lovely teapot, great size for two people. The built in filter is very fine, and the overall finish of the teapot is very impressive.

I was longing for this teapot for a while. Finally, I have it. Its size, color and shape just perfect for me. This is an excellent craftsmanship. Also, it brews the tea leaf very well. A perfect companion for SHINCHA Ujimidori 2020. The tea itself is also superb.
