Current Situation and Background of Japanese Traditional Handmade Teapots
Some of the teapots shown in the video and on this page may no longer be produced. Like other traditional Japanese crafts, the Tokoname-yaki teapot industry is suffering from a lack of successors.
The potters (teapot artists) who make handmade teapots introduced in our store are very skilled craftsmen who have been making teapots for over 40 or 50 years, and their techniques are now at their peak.
Most of them are in their 70s. For about half a century, they have thoroughly thought through the tea culture, people’s life and values of each era, preserving tradition incorporating new beauty, changing some things, leaving some things unchanged, and ”protect” and “challenge” have been continued.
All of the teapot artists you can see on our website(blogs) have make the same effort to create wonderful teapots that are both functional and beautiful.
SHIHA TEAPOT SHOP has been introducing many photos and contents for over 10 years in order to convey the charm of these artists and their works to the world.
