Our team had the pleasure of getting to know esteemed Tokoname potter Seihō during our 2025 visit to Japan. Seihō has a joyful, magnetic spirit that comes through in every piece of teaware he creates.
Born in 1944, Seihō is a recipient of numerous honors at the Tokai Traditional Crafts Exhibition and the Choza Prize Ceramics Exhibition and has also been entrusted with preparing tea offerings at Ise Gekū Shrine—an acknowledgment of his significant contribution to Japanese tea culture.
Showcasing Seihō’s remarkable command of form and surface, as well as his deep love of nature, this red Fuji-gata teapot and small grey teacup (sold individually) feature delicate cherry blossoms rendered in brushed clay slip—an ode to the beauty of spring in Japan.
Using a brush made from grass grown in his own garden, Seihō hand-signs his pieces while holding a beautiful vision in mind: “I am not just imagining a mountain. I’m imagining a mountain on a beautiful spring day as I am walking with the person I love.”
To maintain purity of flavor and avoid discoloration, we recommend reserving this teaware for green or white teas.
