A teapot that does justice to the ritual of brewing for others.

At the larger size (approximately 800ml enough for four to six cups), this NATURE teapot is the one that comes out when time allows. The some-nishiki leaf pattern wraps the body in a blue-and-red layered design that genuinely rewards close attention: the two layers of pigment one underglaze, one overglaze create a depth you do not expect from machine-printed ceramics.

The teapot includes a removable metal strainer, suitable for leaf tea or infusions. The spout is angled for clean, dripless pouring. The shape follows Hasami's practical philosophy: lightweight, balanced in the hand, without unnecessary decoration beyond the painting itself.

For a kitchen where tea is taken seriously, this is the teapot to build a collection around.
