Born in 1976, Junzō Maekawa is a fourth-generation potter whose craft is defined by his reverence for everyday tea practice. Working from his family’s Kenzan Kiln in Tokoname City, Maekawa brings a contemporary sensibility to traditional forms, shaping beautifully balanced teaware with a quietly expressive presence.
Maekawa’s work has garnered several honors, including the Prime Minister’s Award at the Tokonameyaki Promotion Exhibition and the Tea Art Recommendation Award at the Taiwan International Golden Pot Awards.
Designed with a back-facing handle in the Western style and signed by the artist, this ushirode kyusu reflects Maekawa’s restrained, material-forward approach. The unglazed earthenware surface offers an ideal balance of heat retention and porosity, enhancing the texture and finish of your tea.
Although this brewing vessel is ideal for green teas, we encourage you to choose which tea you’d like to dedicate it to. Please note that some botanical infusions (especially fruity ones) may cause discoloration or residue buildup over time.
