Experience traditional Japanese tea preparation with this flat, black Tokoname-yaki kyusu teapot from Sekiryū Kiln (石龍陶苑), whose third-generation successor is Natsue Uemura (上村夏江). Its low, wide shape is finished in a black kiln-fired yōhen (黒窯変) effect with a radiating kikume (菊目), or chrysanthemum-eye, pattern.
The flat-bodied design gives loose-leaf tea room to unfurl in a shallow layer, even with a small amount of hot water. A built-in ceramic mesh filter, known as ceramesh (セラメッシュ), helps separate tea leaves from the pour. The 200 mL (approximately 6.8 US fl oz) size is suited to mindful servings of Japanese green tea, including sencha.
Sekiryū Tōen is a Tokoname pottery studio with three generations of craftsmanship. Founded by Shuji Uemura, the kiln was continued by Hiroyuki Uemura and is now carried forward by Natsue Uemura, who succeeded as its third-generation potter in 2022. The studio brings inherited kyusu-making knowledge to tea ware designed for contemporary use.
