Texture is a rough and simple. Whole body has thin and random vertical lines.
Tiny white sand in red clay is make the texture tasteful.
To have such a "textured" surface, it requires high technique. Yokei explains that he applied random vertical lines with thin pieces of bamboo before forming the teapot shape. When clay was still cylindrical shape on the wheel, he made line decoration.
The gradation color of the body was made in firing in kiln.
