Koito-yaki pottery flourished in the early Edo period along with the tea ceremony, thanks to Takayama Castle lord Shigenori Kanamori and others. Although it was discontinued for a time, it was revived in the late Edo period by a wealthy merchant, and its techniques are still passed down today. It is characterized by elegant tea utensils that make use of the natural beauty of Hida. Also, Iroha glaze is used here. Iroha is originally a type of Korean pottery, and the sandy texture of the clay gives it a rough feel and a heavy, solid impression. Saburo Nagakura is a potter of Hida Koito-yaki, specializing in classical styles. ⚫︎No paulownia wood box Includes an instruction manual and paper box ⚫︎Diameter: Approximately 11 cm, Height: Approximately 7 cm, Foot diameter: Approximately 5.7 cm, Weight: Approximately 400g
