The tea strainer is called sasame and is attached directly to the inside of the ceramic teapot. This allows the tea leaves to circulate easily inside the pot, making the tea more fragrant. This is especially suitable for drinking high-quality Japanese tea.
The teacup has a lid, making it very easy to use when welcoming important guests. You can create a more formal impression by combining it with this coaster.
It is perfect for a special occasion when enjoying Japanese tea with your family and guests, and an extraordinary gift for those who love Japanese culture.

Yoshidaya
The Yoshidaya style, one of the most celebrated traditional styles of Kutani ware, was pioneered by Yoshidaya Denemon in 1824. This style, inheriting the ko-Kutani tradition, distinguishes itself by using an exclusive palette of four colors—yellow, green, navy blue and purple—deliberately avoiding red. The designs are intricate, featuring motifs set against patterned background and expressed through layers of overglaze to create a sense of depth and complexity.
Despite Yoshidaya Kiln closing its doors after just seven years, its works have garnered the highest accolades in late Edo period (1603 CE–1868 CE) Kutani ware.
