Maekawa Junzô Kyûsu 100ml

Stoneware, 100 ml

This kyûsu is strikingly distinctive due to its unusual shape. Its flat form is similar in function to that of a shiboridashi and is therefore used for shaded teas such as kabusecha and gykuro. This pot was crafted by Maekawa Junzô, who was born in Tokoname in 1976. After completing a technical degree in 2000, he devoted himself to ceramics and graduated from a university in Kyoto with a degree in craft in 2004. Junzô has participated in numerous exhibitions and continues to run his father's business.
