{"product_id":"kenji-kyusu-400-ml","title":"Kenji Kyûsu 400 ml","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"57\" data-end=\"438\"\u003eThis exceptional Tokoname teapot comes from the workshop of Takumi Hotta, a contemporary ceramic artist from Tokoname in Aichi Prefecture—one of Japan’s most historic pottery regions. In his work, Hotta combines technical precision with a clean design language that deliberately highlights the material and surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"440\" data-end=\"466\"\u003eForm and Design\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"467\" data-end=\"981\"\u003eThe teapot features a harmoniously rounded, almost spherical silhouette. Its finely faceted, hand-worked surface is particularly distinctive: countless small, slightly irregular marks texture the body, creating a lively interplay of light and shadow. This treatment gives the piece not only visual depth but also a pleasant tactile quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"983\" data-end=\"1010\"\u003eMaterial and Technique\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1011\" data-end=\"1547\"\u003eCrafted from light, unglazed clay, the teapot appears both minimalist and powerful. The matte surface emphasizes the natural qualities of the material and reflects the Japanese aesthetic of restraint. As is typical of high-quality Tokoname pottery, each piece is carefully handcrafted—from throwing on the wheel and hand-texturing to the precise attachment of the spout and lid. Small irregularities are a natural result of this artisanal process and highlight the uniqueness of each individual teapot. With a 400 ml capacity, it is ideal for Sencha and Kabusecha, especially when preparing larger or multiple servings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1995\" data-end=\"2135\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eA work by Takumi Hotta that respects Tokoname’s long tradition while maintaining a contemporary, distinctive style.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yamaki","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53873600201033,"sku":"Kenji Kyûsu","price":75.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0910\/9851\/3737\/files\/LP150573.jpg?v=1771265581","url":"https:\/\/japankeramik.de\/en\/products\/kenji-kyusu-400-ml","provider":"Japan Keramik","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
