The site of one of Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns, making pottery since the 12th century.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eToday, Tokoname ware is known for its iconic brick-red clay called shudei. Famously used in teaware and bonsai pots, this clay’s vibrant colour comes from its rich iron content.  Left unglazed but high-temperature fired (yakijime), Tokoname teapots will absorb some of the bitterness in your tea, creating a more rounded flavor profile. Expect the pot to age as a result of this absorption, turning brownish in color over the years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Artist: 藤田徳太 Tomoshiro Sawada\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBorn and raised in Tokoname, Tomoshiro has studied ceramics since high school.  He has held numerous solo exhibitions and won many accolades over the years.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/tokonametsukurite.com\/assets\/artist.jpg\" width=\"455\" height=\"368\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YAMAKIIKAI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68054077702326,"sku":"Y3008","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0070\/0845\/2666\/files\/Y3008_1.jpg?v=1794502161","url":"https:\/\/sugoisweets.com\/products\/sparkle-flat-kyusu-by-tomohiro-sawada-230-ml-black-blended-glaze","provider":"sugoi sweets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
