Yakishime Nanban teapot by Hokujo #19

A one-off Nanban yakishime teapot by Master Hokujo, ceramic artist recognized as an Intangible Cultural Property holder by Tokoname City.

This piece has a compact, softly rounded body with a gently rising handle. The form feels calm and well-balanced, while the natural unglazed surface shows fine specks and subtle variations in the fired clay.

The body is mainly shaped from the inside on the potter’s wheel, allowing the naturally rough outer surface of the clay to remain.

Built-in handcrafted ceramic mesh filter
