Description

This ceramic Japanese teapot showcases the serene, pale green hues of Kosen Kiln's original celadon, crafted with natural minerals partially sourced from Okawachiyama. Its subtle elegance invites appreciation with every use.

The combination of celadon’s hues and the bamboo motif creates a refreshing design. Bamboo, which grows tall and straight toward the sky, is believed to bring good fortune and strength. It also symbolizes resilience, as it can withstand the harsh cold of winter and the intense heat of summer.

The shape of this teapot is called maru-gata, known for its versatility in accommodating various types of tea leaves. Its wide opening and curved base make it easy to clean, while the slightly flattened form allows the tea leaves to unfurl fully, extracting a rich depth of sweetness and umami.

Inside, it features both a sasame filter and a removable mesh strainer, ensuring that no tea leaves escape when pouring. Designed for easy pouring and convenience, this teapot is perfect for everyday use and also makes a great gift.

The current third generation, Kawasoe Takahiko, has a vision of "establishing Nabeshima culture" and began research and development of celadon from a different perspective from that of his grandfather. The kiln is working daily with the hope that the future of Nabeshima ware will be enriched 100 years from now.

Celadon

Celadon porcelain originated in China and was introduced to Japan by the 10th century. Among the aristocratic classes at that time, celadon wares from China were regarded as the finest imported goods. They adored its mysterious blue and named it "secret-color."

Production of celadon ware began in the Hizen region, the northwestern part of present Kyushu in the early Edo period (1603 CE - 1868 CE), and the technique was later passed on to Kyoto and nearby areas. In 1957, the craft technology was designated a national intangible cultural asset. Celadon continues to be cherished and crafted by many potters and artisans today.
