Tokoname Sou Yamada Black Wood Firing Teapot 山田想 YS71

Introducing the exquisite Sou Yamada Black Wood Firing Teapot, a testament to the Yamada family's rich legacy spanning five generations in the art of teapot craftsmanship.

This remarkable teapot underwent a meticulous firing process, enveloped by shells, resulting in a captivating shell pattern adorning its surface. The original reddish-brown hue of the clay has metamorphosed into striking black and glossy black tones, courtesy of the interaction with shells and ash.

What sets this teapot apart is its textured body, distinguished by a range of colors and gradations, from black to brown and moss green. Each area exudes its own unique allure, with some gleaming with a luminous sheen while others boast a rugged texture, all originating from distinct sources.

The thin and lightweight composition of this teapot only adds to its overall charm, making it a truly captivating piece.

Sou Yamada, a descendant of the esteemed Jozan Yamada the 3rd, continues the family's tradition with unparalleled skill and dedication. The lid and handle of this teapot exemplify the Yamada family's heritage and nobility, adding to its authenticity and allure.

This is not just an teapot; it's a piece of art that encapsulates centuries of tradition and mastery, a true reflection of the Yamada family's legacy in Japanese culture.
