I'll be unavailable for a few months... I'll hold onto this pot for now.

I've been getting a lot of bad gateway errors lately, especially during the day. Accessing the forum at night doesn't seem to be as much of a problem. Is anyone else having trouble or know what's going on?

I’ve also been having the same issue for the last few weeks.

I see. Do you think would there be any disadvantages by using bigger v smaller pot brewing with the same amount of water (70ml in this case)? The main disadvantage would probably be heat loss, but it might be an advantage with some senchas or gyokuro. I did experiment a couple of years ago with thi...

I’m curious, how much tea leaf and water do you normally use for each infusion? I prefer higher concentration brewing. More along the parameters that Florent from TDJ recommends, so ~4g/70ml. I used to do 2 sessions a day with 100ml - 140ml pots. Moved to larger pots like this one to save time and ...

I'm letting go of this barely used, but greatly adored, Yamada Sou shudei kyusu, ~210ml. It's too large of a volume for my current usage is the only reason I'm selling it. I purchased it new from Tokoname Isobe. It's in perfect condition, and will come with the original tomobako (pictures in Google ...

Please archive this thread, thank you! Final Update Shipping to USA is still $10. So far USPS has had the best rates vs delivery time. 1. Tokoname flat hon-shudei kyusu by Yamada Yūtaro ~120ml - $80 SOLD 2. Banko shidei kyusu by Ôtsuki Shun ~195ml - $70 3. Tokoname shudei kyusu by Hiroshi Koie ~200m...

1 and 2 shouldn't be slept on either. Young artists keeping the craft alive. As far as I know both of them prepare their own clay and fire their own kilns to make these teapots. I believe they do prepare their own clay. Of note, you can see Ôtsuki Shun‘s influence and guidance from Yamamoto Hiromi ...

It's time for me to let go of a few teapots. There's a link to a Google Photos album at the bottom with many more pictures. Some pictures in this album also have more information in the description, so please check those. Payments via PayPal in USD with $10 extra to go towards packing/shipping, like...

Nice find. Offers shipping to EU as well. Prices seem on par or maybe better than the Shiraiwa Taisuke section on (usually reasonably priced) TdJ (but make sure to switch to Japanese to see JPY prices, not USD, which are bonkers). Even better, if they subtract Japanese sales tax before shipping, li...

I highly recommend https://pakupakuan.shop Many amazing artists to browse through, and orders are accepted outside of Japan (I know there is shipping to the US, anyway) using Apple Pay or PayPal. Several beautiful woodfired teapots from Taisuke Shiraiwa are currently available at really fair prices....

Today I received a pot that was available in the (now archived) post prior to this one, and it arrived in perfect shape! Very well cared for and very well packaged. Thank you so much, @Darbotek!

If you end up looking at pots on eBay sold by tokonamejp, you might check out their website ( http://www.tokoname.or.jp/teapot/gallery.htm ) and follow the directions under the “order” section to order via email. It might give you more options within your budget. I recently obtained pot that way, an...

Might be too large for your needs, but Obubu sells this houhin:
