The Story

Description:
A medium-sized Arita ware kyusu from Saga prefecture, defined by its easy-to-grip side handle and nostalgic mizutama polka dots. The retro blue glaze with white dots echoes the quiet optimism of mid-century Japan, when this motif became a familiar presence at everyday tables during the Showa era.

Inside, a built-in toumaru porcelain strainer forms a precise half-sphere filter, integrated seamlessly into the body. A removable stainless steel strainer adds flexibility for finer or fuller leaves. Porcelain construction makes it dishwasher safe, balancing tradition with practicality. Tea cup sold separately.

Compact, graphic, and grounded, this is a teapot designed for daily ritual.

Measurements:
Teapot: 6.69 in x 3.74 in
10 ounces

History:
Founded in 2011, Matsu Kaze brings the artistry of Japanese teaware to your everyday life. We work directly with master artisans, traditional potters and contemporary makers alike, offering teapots, cups, and utensils shaped by hand, perfected over generations, and designed with care.
