Shiboridashi teapot is like a houhin (literally, “treasure cup”, a small kyusu tea pot without a handle used for brewing gyokuro or high-quality sencha).
This particular shiboridashi teapot made by Shigaraki-yaki potter Sawa Houzan is very unique for not having a strainer, unlike most kyusu (teapot) found in Japan. Instead, the slits near the spout function as a strainer, keeping the brewed tea leaves in the pot and pouring out only the liquid.
All the details are handmade, a work that is made possible only by Sawa-san’s expert craftsmanship. Enjoy the simple and elegant ware that will offer you a new experience of tea brewing.
