Kyusu “Kiri” – teapot from Tokoname in mist glaze
The Kyusu "Kiri" takes its name from the Japanese word for fog – and with its soft bluish glaze on a deep black, it evokes the mysterious spectacle of the "Great Fog of Kameoka." In the cold winter mornings, the Kameoka Basin transforms into a sea of clouds – a natural wonder that exudes tranquility, mystery, and clarity.
Crafts and design
Crafted in Tokoname, one of Japan's six ancient pottery regions, the Kyusu "Kiri" combines traditional craftsmanship with timeless elegance. The interplay of dark clay and hazy glaze makes each pot unique. Thanks to the precise "Suriawase" process, the lid and body fit perfectly together—a testament to masterful craftsmanship.
Functionality in everyday life
The Kyusu "Kiri" is equipped with a fine-mesh stainless steel strainer that allows for a consistent flow of tea and reliably retains even finer tea leaves like Sencha or Gyokuro. Its glazed interior makes cleaning particularly easy and ensures long-lasting enjoyment of your tea ritual.
