Asahi-yaki
For over 400 years the Asahiyaki kiln has kept the fire burning in the Uji region of Kyoto: the cradle of Japanese tea culture. Counting samurai to the reigning Imperial Family as clients, Asahiyaki continue to produce traditional matcha tea ceremony utensils as well as their much-loved pastel coloured porcelains for enjoying loose leaf teas.
Banko-yaki
Genuine Japanese Banko-yaki teapots with in-built strainer and side handle from the city of Yokkaichi, Mie prefecture. Sourced from leading studios and artists, these Kyusu teapots are handmade using natural purple Shidei clay and fired in a reduction kiln. Perfect for all types of Japanese green tea.
Hasami-yaki
Produced in the town of Hasami in Nagasaki prefecture, Hasami-yaki dates back to the turn of the 17th century and today is known for its durable blue and white porcelain. Our Yoshi en Hasami teacup, Kyusu and handless Hohin teapot were custom-deisgned by us in a delicate bluish-white glaze.
Kyo-yaki
Kyo-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki, used together or interchangeably, refer to ceramics made in Kyoto: the cultural and spiritual centre of Japan. Kyoto wares come in many different styles, but are typified by colourful porcelains decorated with traditional themes and motifs in overglaze enamel pigments.
Raku-yaki
Celebrated tea master Sen no Rikyu's Chawan of choice, Raku bowls are hand-moulded and fired at low temperatures, resulting in a very soft and porous clay with a wonderfully warm, tactile quality. Raku wares typically come in black or red to bring out the bright green of Matcha most clearly.
Shigaraki-yaki
Pottery produced in and around Shigaraki is characteristically made of coarse, light-coloured clay that forms a particularly robust body. One of the Six Ancient Kilns, or Rokkoyō, of Japan, at the beginning of the 16th century the rustic aesthetics of Shigaraki-yaki was much admired within the tea ceremony, and today maintains a reputation for sturdy utilitarian objects.
