TOKONAME
TEAPOT
Tokoname is a city located in Chita District, Aichi Prefecture,
Japan. It has been associated with ceramics production since
at least the Heian period, a division of classical Japanese
history, running from 794 to 1185. Tokoname is the largest
and oldest among Japan’s six ancient kilns (the others
are Bizen, Shigaraki, Tamba, Seto and Echizen), and extended
the market throughout Japan via sea.
Tokoname red-clay-ware was invented in the early 1800’s
which developed into the production of tea-ware like teapots
and cups for Japanese green tea. In the 1900’s mass
production was introduced which resulted in new production
systems and improved kilns that produced ceramic pipes,
bowls and jars. When looking for a teapot for green tea,
you can't go wrong with a Tokoname handcrafted teapot.
