Seiji Ito(伊藤成二), born in 1949 in Tokoname City, Aichi Prefecture, is a master potter renowned for his "kyusu" teapots. For 50 years, he has crafted these exceptional teapots in Tokoname, a region famous for its high-quality clay.
Ito first started working in his father's pottery business. For two decades, he assisted in producing vases and teacups but always aspired to create teapots, the "stars of the show."
Ito sought guidance from various renowned Tokoname teapot artisans, learning the intricate art of balancing a teapot's many parts. “If you understand that, you can make good teapots,” he says. His dedication and skill have earned him international recognition, including a silver prize at the 1st World Ceramic Teapot Competition in Yixing, China.
Recently, Ito has shifted his focus from purely functional teapots to creating pieces that enthusiasts will truly love. His passion for teapots and his desire to inspire future artists define his exceptional career in ceramics.

These small plates are beautiful. One arrived chipped, but the seller quickly sent a replacement at no charge once notified. Both the original shipment and the replacement arrived timely.
These were beautifully designed and shipped carefully. Sent them as gifts for a friend who recently got a house and loves cherry blossoms. Also tempted to get myself some.

My first item arrived broken. I sent a photo and seller was really gracious and immediately sent a second item. It is beautiful! I love the glaze and petite size. Very delicate and refined looking.
Great shop with excellent service. I received my item very quickly! It's adorable too I absolutely love it. I'll definitely shop here again.
Everything was fantastic! Super impressive packaging and quality. Every "cup" was handcrafted and completely unique. It was the perfect birthday gift for my brother!
These chopsticks are absolutely adorable. Nice and light, but feel strong. They have a nice texture on the end so you can grip items very well. The 18cm size is great for a child, I think.
