Re: Japanese Teaware Vendor Recommendations
Before the end-of-year holidays, I had an email exchange with Takeyoshi from tokoname.or.jp about a couple of teapots. The replies were coming in quickly, but suddenly stopped, and I have not heard back since despite a few follow-ups. I wonder if my emails are being blocked by an anti-spam filter o...

Re: Hokujo Teaware
I found this now already sold offering of Hokujo. Never seen this kind of shape/glaze(?) from him. Somehow it reminds me of Inge Nielsen work. http://www.tokoname.or.jp/teapot/maker_profile/hokujo/hokujo79.htm Happy new year :) Very nice pot. Don't see wood fired pots like that too often with that ...

Re: Hokujo Teaware
Can you describe what Hokujo’ new kyusu look like, since you were able to see them? Clay, firing, form.. Sure thing! Both teapots I was shown were exactly the same apart from handle type(one was a 'ball' type handle, the other was one of the more long narrow varieties he makes). I'm not sure the ty...

Re: Hokujo Teaware
Artistic Nippon or Isobe should have some, no? AN only really has one or two large pots up right now and only one is made out of his signature clay. From what I‘ve been told(not by AN) Hokujo is moving away from his standard yakishime pots and now is focusing solely on making more expensive ‘one-of...

Re: Hokujo Teaware
Does anyone happen to have a Hokujo that they would be willing to part with? I accidentally broke the inner wall of mine trying to add more holes in one of his older slow pouring direct hole pots :( Any one of his side-handle pots around 150ml+ I think would be ideal for me since I would only be usi...

Re: Tetsubin
I’m looking for a smaller tetsubin as I only tend to use sub 100ml water per infusion...also TAD. Found these on Yahoo, but can’t decipher a name. Anyone familiar? They are pricey but nice(looking), the lack of an urushi plug on the bottom is new to me. Looks like its made by a brand called kansei ...

Gafu honshudei flat kyusu
Another Gafu pot for sale, this time one of his flat reduction fired kyusu. While the clay itself is mainly neutral, I think that the reduction firing tends to bring out more aromatics compared to conventional fired shudei(at least with sencha) Capacity is almost exactly 100 ml. Since flat teapots t...
