The matte glaze and the petal motif engraved on the lid of this Japanese "Kyusu(Japanese Teapot)", "Houhin," give it an elegant and serene look. Suitable not only for drinking Japanese tea, but also Chinese and black tea, it gives a modern and serene impression.

A Houhin is a type of Kyusu that can concentrate the flavor of high-quality tea leaves such as "Gyokuro" by infiltrating them slowly with low-temperature hot water.

Place about 1 teaspoon of tea leaves for each person in the Houhin, pour the hot water about 60°C(140°F), and wait for about 1 minute. Then, simply pour the tea into the teacup while holding the lid down.

A tea strainer is not necessary because the spout has a jagged edge to prevent tea leaves from getting into the teacup.

It is also suitable for brewing Chinese teas with large tea leaves, in which case boiling water is used. When holding it, use a dish towel to avoid burns.

Recommended to pair this with RYOUKA Usuki Japanese teacup. If you have a set of them, you will have a more wonderful and authentic tea time.

USUKIYAKI

USUKIYAKI is the Japanese name for Usukiware, but it is also a project name. It suddenly disappeared from the world 200 years ago. However, in 2015, local potters revived this mysterious pottery.

The works, which are a fusion of traditional techniques and modern sensibilities, have a mysterious texture that reminds us of nostalgia in the midst of newness.

Its reputation in Japan and abroad is growing every day, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain.

Handcrafted plates using the “Katauchi” Method

Usuki ware has many white porcelain wreaths made by Shimabara potters. It is a beautiful design in which the food is placed in the middle of the flower.

To form the plates, they covered a plaster mold with a thin layer of base material and pressed it by hand to form a circle flower or petal, or used the Katauchi method, a molding technique that copies the pattern carved into the mold onto the bowl.

In this way, the warmth of hand-building remains, compared to casting, which involves pouring liquid pottery into a mold.

AbouT USUKI ware

Usuki ware is based on the concept that a vessel is a frame for serving food.

To bring out the beauty of the traditional food culture of Usuki, such as ingredients nurtured by the rich sea and mountains, organically grown crops, and the miso, soy sauce, and sake that have been used since ancient times, the pottery is created using natural shapes and materials as motifs.

They hope to bring this food culture, as well as the beauty of nature and the creative spirit of Usuki, to the tables of people around the world through their creations.
