Special Red Clay

Reiko's red Clay is very fine. You may able to tell from the photos. 

He mixed clay taken UNDRER THE POND of Tokoname 20 YEARS AGO and one from 40 YEARS AGO. 

After purification, the clay became smooth and fine– and then clay has natural shine(glow) and become more tasteful.  As you use it will have more shine(glow). 

The texture gives you calmness in your mind, every time your eyes catch the teapot, it will bring you a joy. 

The clay make good brewing effect. 

All the process of teapot making has been done by Reiko himself alone. From clay selection/making to firing. Holes on strainer was also made by himself.

 Handmade Filter Production (You Tube)

The shape of the filter is molded out of square, thin, still soft clay, and holes are drilled by hand, one by one. The tools are specially made for this purpose. The size and shape of the holes are based on years of experience and suitable for Japanese tea culture (considering various types of green tea). The number of holes and the direction in which the holes are drilled are also important. There are many techniques that go into making a beautiful and functional kyusu.
