  • New Arrival at HOJO Online Shop

We have received some teapots from Watanabe Tozo. All models are made of Akitsu Mumyoi Clay from Sado Island. We received teapots with 3 different firing methods.

Although all tea wares are made of the same clay, the different firing method makes the appearance different. In addition, the taste of tea is different too if you brew the same tea in these 3 teapots. The oxidation fired clay gives the strongest body, while the carbonized reduction gives the longest after taste but lighter in body. The reduction fired clay gives exactly the intermediate character in both body and after taste.
