Cultural Heritage
The Kyusu teapot emerged during China's Song Dynasty (960-1279) before becoming integral to Japanese tea culture. The side-handle design evolved specifically for brewing sencha, allowing precise control during the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. Tokoname's Shunju Kiln continues this legacy, balancing time-honored techniques with modern precision.
