Rust-Iga Tokusa Teapot (with Tea Strainer)

This is a Mino ware teapot.

Set against a base color that appears black or gray, vivid yellow lines radiate like beams of light—creating a striking and modern design.

It comes with a built-in strainer, so you can enjoy Japanese tea right away!

Please note that the appearance and texture may vary slightly from piece to piece. Thank you for your understanding.

Mino ware originated during the Momoyama period, alongside the rise of the tea ceremony, and is primarily produced in Toki City, Gifu Prefecture. It was particularly loved by tea masters during the birth of Japan’s wabi-sabi culture. Notable types of Mino ware include the refined pale yellow Kizeto, the glossy jet-black Setoguro, the soft milky-white Shino ware, and the uniquely green-patterned Oribe ware. Today, Mino ware accounts for more than half of all porcelain tableware produced in Japan.
