Spring has finally arrived! In Japan, while cherry blossoms are capturing everyone's attention, the countdown to the new season's tea harvest has also begun. We'll be drunk with shincha tasting in a few months.

For now, we're happy to present a collection of pottery from Japan, much of it from the town of Mashiko in Tochigi Prefecture. I lived there in 1999-2000, and made numerous trips back in the following few years.

The people and pottery of Mashiko definitely have a special place in my heart.

We hope that you will also enjoy the warmth of Mashiko-yaki.

P.S. We are ever thankful to those who participated in our January-March fundraiser for Wajima Earthquake Relief with purchases, donations, and healing prayers.

We can all use help, or give help, at some time in our lives.

Kiyomizu-yaki Shiboridashi Kyusu, Kyoto. 150cc/5oz. Unglazed (yakishime) exterior with white glazed interior, which allows one to view the color of the tea. H. 2.75" (7cm) x W. 4.125" (10.5cm) Well-suited for high quality teas, such as Sencha and Gyokuro.

Pottery has reportedly been made in the the Gojouzaka area around Kiyomizu Temple since the 5th C. It was in the late Muromachi Era and the Momoyama Era of the 16th and early 17th C. that Kiyomizuyaki was a leading producer of tea wares in the ancient Capitol. Still today, Kiyomizu wares demonstrate a wide variety of elegant and refined vessels long favored by Kyoto elite.
