Kyūsu

picture info	Kyūsu A is a traditional Japanese teapot mainly used for brewing green tea. The common misconception is that a ''kyūsu'' always has a side handle. However, the word "kyūsu" merely means "teapot", even though in common usage ''kyūsu'' usually does refer to a teapot with a side handle. The two most common types of ''kyūsu'' are , which has a side handle and which is the more common type, and , which has a rear handle, just like teapots in other parts of the world; there are also . Tokoname ware is known for its ''kyūsu''. In smaller types, some of the lids can be crafted in such a way that they will not fall off due to water adhesion. The spout also has to be crafted with an angle that no drops will leak back from it while pouring.

picture info	Teapot A teapot is a vessel used for steeping tea leaves or a herbal mix in boiling or near-boiling water, and for serving the resulting infusion which is called tea. It is one of the core components of teaware. Dry tea is available either in tea bags or as loose tea, in which case a tea infuser or tea strainer may be of some assistance, either to hold the leaves as they steep or to catch the leaves inside the teapot when the tea is poured. Teapots usually have an opening with a lid at their top, where the dry tea and hot water are added, a handle for holding by hand and a spout through which the tea is served. Some teapots have a strainer built-in on the inner edge of the spout. A small air hole in the lid is often created to stop the spout from dripping and splashing when tea is poured. In modern times, a thermally insulating cover called a tea cosy may be used to enhance the steeping process or to prevent the contents of the teapot from cooling too rapidly. History China ...

picture info	Tokoname Ware is a type of Japanese pottery, stoneware, and ceramics produced in and around the municipality of Tokoname, Aichi, in central Japan. Tokoname was the location of one of the Six Ancient Kilns of Japan. History Pottery made in Tokoname dates back to the 12th century. During the Heian period, what is now called Tokoname ware was already part of daily life. A kiln known as the Takasaka kiln was built in the 14th century. Towards the end of the Edo period in the late 19th century, Koie Hokyu completed a chambered "climbing kiln" (''nobori-gama''). The excellent reputation of modern Tokoname ware was established by his son Koie Hoju. He laid the foundations for earthenware pipe making and introduced the redware for which the town became renowned. A statue was later put up in his honour in the town. The construction of the Meitetsu Tokoname Line in the Meiji era encouraged production and provided transportation for the increasing tile production during the Taishō era. The tradit ...

	Tetsubin ''Tetsubin'' (鉄瓶) are Japanese cast-iron kettles with a pouring spout, a lid, and a handle crossing over the top, used for boiling and pouring hot water for drinking purposes, such as for making tea. ''Tetsubin'' are traditionally heated over charcoal. In the Japanese art of ''chanoyu'', the special portable brazier for this is the ''binkake'' (瓶掛). (See list of Japanese tea ceremony equipment). ''Tetsubin'' are often elaborately decorated with relief designs on the outside. They range widely in size, and many have unusual shapes, making them popular with collectors. A relatively small ''tetsubin'' may hold around 0.5 litres of water; large ones may hold around 5 litres. The historical origin of the ''tetsubin'' is not certain. At least one authoritative Japanese source''Genshoku Chadō Daijiten'' 原色茶道大辞典: Tankosha, 1975.
