常滑焼の急須コレクション | Haneda A Piece of Japan

一三○○年前から連綿とつづく
日本六古窯最大の産地、常滑。
「茶を飲むなら常滑」との評判をもつ
朱泥の急須の名産地からの一品です。
常滑急須の特徴は、土に含まれる鉄の成分が
窯で溶け出して、目が細かく焼き締まった
素朴で力強い肌合い。そして鉄の成分が、
茶に含まれる渋みをとりのぞいて
お茶をまろやかにすることから、
煎茶の広がりとともに
日本中で愛用されるようになりました。
液体の重みを感じにくい構造や
最も美味しいといわれる最後の一滴まで
注ぎきれる湯切れの良さなど
細部に宿る手技も見事。
一煎の愉しみ方がきっと変わります。

Tokoname, with its unbroken 1300-year history, is the largest production area among Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns.
This piece comes from an area so famous for its redware teapots that it earned the saying “if you’re drinking tea, you have to go with Tokoname.”
Tokoname teapots are characterized by their fine grain and a plain, robust feel, a result of iron components contained in the soil melting in the kiln. These iron components also help to remove the astringency in the tea, producing a smooth, mild flavor. As a result, with the spread of green tea, the teapots became cherished throughout Japan.
The craftsmanship that goes into even the smallest details is superb, from a construction that makes it difficult to feel the weight of the water, to the quality of the pour, which delivers even the very last drop of tea — said to be the tastiest.
It will surely change the way you enjoy your tea. |Karatsu ware is characterized by its rustic appearance and a texture reminiscent of the warmth of the earth.
