“TEA” Japanese Teapot

This is a beautiful white porcelain teapot with the word "TEA" painted on its side. This kind of playful design is iconic to Kutani Choemon and serves as a wonderful example of how traditional craftsmanship meets modern creativity.

Inside, it features a sasame tea strainer, which is attached directly to the inner wall. This design allows tea leaves to circulate freely, enhancing the fragrance and flavor of the brew. It is especially suited for enjoying high-quality Japanese tea.

Perfect for special occasions when you want to share tea with family or guests, or as a thoughtful gift for those who appreciate Japanese culture and unique designs.

Choemon Kiln

Operating in a region where the various steps of pottery crafting are usually split among different studios, Choemon Kiln was among the first to bring the entire process under one roof.

While further honing their skills each day, they also strive to take their potential to new heights by embracing diverse challenges. One of their recent exciting projects is a collaboration with Spanish designer Jaime Hayon on the production of unique creations such as skull-shaped candy jars—one of which is in the collection of the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa.

Kutani Ware

Kutani ware is a pottery produced in the Kaga region of Ishikawa Prefecture, with a history spanning over 350 years. It is characterized by the heavy brilliance of the five colors of navy blue, red, purple, green, and yellow that are applied to the bold and daring lines. Its long history has evolved through the tireless efforts and enthusiasm of people who have sought innovation while maintaining tradition.
