Description

STYLE

Ball-shaped, sand-coloured houhin with special drawstring handle and recessed lid. The glassy plant remnants glittering on the raw texture are beautiful. Light yet rustic, natural shape with a huge pelican neck spout.Tanikawa Hitoshi, aka “Jin”, one of Tokoname’s popular ceramics masters, is best known for his mogake (seaweed-fired) style ceramics. Mogake literally means “wrapped in seaweed”. The interaction of algae minerals and clay creates unique copper and gold fired patterns on the surface of the ceramic. The sandy surface of the pot will mellow beautifully with green teas! Tanikawa Jin is one of the most distinctive masters of his style (and recipient of numerous awards) in Tokoname. Tokoname (Aichi Province) is one of the six old Japanese ceramics centres, the best known and largest producer of tea ceramics in Japan, the Japanese equivalent of the Chinese Yixing in frequency and popularity. It is mainly recommended for quality Japanese greens, sencha and gyokuro teas.

Tokoname (Aichi Province) is one of the six old Japanese ceramics centres, the best known and largest producer of tea ceramics in Japan, and the Japanese equivalent of Yixing in China in terms of frequency and popularity. It is typically known for its polished, high-strength, solid, natural clay teapots and vessels. The solidity of the jugs is somewhere between porcelain and European earthenware, with a natural-looking, yet fine-grained clay body.
