Tokoname city is the biggest clay teapot producing district in Japan. The Tokoname teapot became very famous back in the 18 century, thanks to the discovery of Tokoname’s natural red clay and its outstanding performance. Unfortunately nowadays there are very few artists who truly understand the performance of clay. Most artists usually distinguish clay only based on its color and texture. It is called red clay as long as clay is red in color.
Based on my study, most of the Tokoname teapots were no longer made of natural red clay. Even a very famous artist such as the 3rd generation artist Yamada Jozan who was awarded “The Living National Treasure” did not use natural red clay in his latter half of production. It seems that the legendary Tokoname natural red clay has been substituted by artificially blended red clay.
Recently I coincidentally discovered that one of the teapot masters in Tokoname, by the name of Gisui, preserved some natural red clay. According to him, it was kept by his acquaintance and it was given to him.
It appears to be orange in color. I often heard senior people saying that Tokoname red clay was supposed to be orange in color. I bought this tea pot and carried out verification by tasting the tea brewed from it. It turned out to be made of very good clay! The taste tells everything that it was fine natural red clay.
Unfortunately there is only one artist who keeps this clay. Moreover he only keeps a very limited quantity of this clay. It may be the last remaining Tokoname natural red clay. |

In Sado island, regardless of the artist, all red clay are from Sado Mountain, where the famous Aikawa Gold Mine is located. Basically all aritsts in Sado island have their own secret source of red clay in respective part of Sado mountain. In general, the character and performance of all red clay in Sado island has certain similarity. However different artist uses different baking temperature and different source of clay that makes the taste of tea slightly different. I personally confirmed that the quality of Shimizu Ken's clay is very good, yet it certainly different from Watanabe Tozo's clay. It is beyond superiority. I would say both clay has their own identity.
