#41 Yokei Mizuno (280ml)

Handcrafted by Tokoname ceramic artist Yokei Mizuno, this yohen yakishime kyusu is distinguished by its deep kiln-fired tones and softly rounded Daruma-inspired silhouette. The natural variations created during firing give the unglazed clay a rich, expressive surface, while the subtle vermilion accent introduces a refined contrast rooted in traditional Japanese aesthetics. Fired without glaze, the yakishime clay retains a breathable texture appreciated for its ability to mellow and round the flavor of tea over time. Its compact, balanced form sits comfortably in the hand, combining visual warmth with practical functionality for everyday brewing. Blending the quiet, irregular beauty of kiln transformation with the enduring craftsmanship of Tokoname ware, this kyusu offers a tea experience shaped by material, fire, and tradition.
