About This Product
During our 2025 visit to Tokoname, Japan, our team had the privilege of commissioning acclaimed potter Junzō Maekawa to create this one-of-a-kind teaware set.
Born in 1976, Maekawa works from his family’s Kenzan Kiln in Tokoname City, crafting beautifully balanced teaware with a quietly expressive presence. His 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.
Maekawa finished each piece with a rich copper-green oribe glaze recalling the classic Ao-Oribe tea bowls of 16th- and 17th-century Japan. Shaped with raised shinogi ridges, the surfaces showcase subtle variations in tone and depth that catch the light beautifully.
This matching set features a back-handled kyusu with a built-in sasame clay filter for smooth pouring, a yuzamashi serving pitcher and two teacups—offering a complete, refined tea ritual.
Although the kyusu is ideal for brewing green teas, we encourage you to choose which tea you'd like to dedicate it to. Please note that some botanical infusions (especially fruit-forward blends) may cause discoloration or residue buildup over time.
Set Contents:
- Oribe Tokoname Teapot
