Kyusu - 急須 - Sangiri

Toshiaki’s Kyusu –  Teapot
This handcrafted kyusu by Toshiaki features the traditional Bizen firing technique known as Sangiri, used generously to create its unique surface. During the firing process, natural gases released from charcoal interact with the clay, forming soft, smoky gradations and ethereal patterns. The result is a teapot that captures the quiet harmony between fire, earth, and charcoal—an expression of nature's artistry shaped by the hands of the craftsman. Both functional and meditative, this piece enriches the tea experience with its quiet strength and timeless beauty.
