Description

This Japanese teapot set showcases aochibu, a traditional Kutani ware painting technique developed during the Taisho era (1912–1926 CE). Small blue dots are meticulously applied to the colored background, creating a unique textured effect. Achieving uniform size, spacing, and color in these dots requires exceptional craftsmanship. Combined with an elegant gold arabesque pattern, this design embodies both tradition and sophistication, enhancing your tea time with timeless beauty.

Crafted from smooth porcelain, the teacups offer a soft, relaxing touch against the lips, bringing out the rich yet delicate flavors of Japanese green tea. The lidded teacups not only retain warmth but also add an element of refinement, making them ideal for entertaining guests.

The teapot features a built-in "sasame" tea strainer, seamlessly integrated into the spout. This design allows the tea leaves to circulate freely, enhancing the aroma and depth of flavor, making it particularly well-suited for brewing high-quality Japanese tea.

With its lidded teacups, this set is an excellent choice for welcoming important guests. Pairing the teacups with a coaster further elevates the presentation, creating a more formal and polished tea experience.

Perfect for special occasions, this tea set is also an extraordinary gift for those who appreciate Japanese art and culture. It comes in a beautiful wooden box, making it an ideal gift for your loved ones.

Handcrafted by skilled Japanese artisans using traditional Kutani ware techniques, this timeless design ensures lasting elegance and enjoyment for years to come.

Aochibu & Shirochibu

Aochibu (literally "blue dots") features small, solid blue dots densely drawn on a base color. The technique is said to have become popular during the Taisho period (1912–1916 CE). It is neither exactly painting nor exactly line drawing, but rather falling somewhere in the realm of pointillism.

The rich clusters of dots create marvelous ripple-like patterns. It takes extraordinary skill to draw uniform, tiny dots while retaining the beauty of eaoch cluster. There are color variations of aochibu as well, including shirochibu (white dots) and kinchibu (gold dots).
