This exquisite kyusu teapot features hand-carved cherry blossoms on subtle green clay. Adorned in pink and warm yellow tones, it strikes a harmonious balance, with a refined, understated hexagonal shape.
Distinct from his father, Shunen I, Shunen II has developed his own unique style. The Double Wall Lacy Teapot is a true testament to his originality and mastery, crafted through years of dedicated research. Its double-walled design, requiring precise control of shrinkage during firing, showcases Shunen II’s innovative approach. He even created special tools to achieve the delicate lacework.
Shunen II’s craftsmanship is evident in every detail. From concept to engraving, he brings a distinctive artistic touch to each piece.
