#43 Yoshiki Murata (190ml)

Handcrafted by Tokoname ceramic artist Yoshiki Murata, this yohen inro-buta chachu is distinguished by the subtle kiln transformations that emerge naturally during firing and by its refined inset lid design. The inro-buta structure allows the lid to fit securely within the body of the teapot, offering both a precise seal and a clean, balanced silhouette. During firing, shifting flame conditions and ash reactions create unique tonal variations across the surface, ranging from deep browns to dark mineral hues. Crafted from traditional unglazed clay, the vessel gradually develops a richer luster through repeated use, allowing its character to deepen over time. Designed with an integrated ceramic strainer for smooth and expressive brewing, this chachu balances functional precision with the quiet, irregular beauty that defines handcrafted Tokoname tea ware.
