- Tokoname ware uses iron-rich clay from the Chita Peninsula. The use of this clay produces the unique red color of the Tokoname Kyusu when put through firing.
- The iron in the Tokoname clay also reacts with the tannin in the tea, softening the astringency and making the tea mellow. This is perhaps the most distinctive feature of the Tokoname Kyusu teapot.
- A beautiful Kyusu of skilled craftsmanship made to fit the shape of your hand comfortably and securely. Today, this craft is one of Japan's "Important Intangible Cultural Heritage," designated by the Japanese government.
- The side-handle type design is uniquely Japanese and makes it highly convenient to serve the tea smoothly using one hand.
- A Tokoname ware Kyusu is a "Kyusu that matures." After many years of use, the kyusu's color and luster will enhance, and it will grow into your one-and-only unique piece.
- The strainer is attached to the mouth of the teapot, designed to maximize the pot space, allowing the tea leaves to open evenly and emit deliciousness and nutrients into the water.
- The ceramic strainer, also handmade, prevents the tea leaves from any unpleasant metallic smell or taste. It also reduces the risk of the strainer from clogging up compared to a metal strainer.
- Tokoname Kyusus are unglazed. They are categorized as "Stoneware" under Japanese pottery categorizations.
