Handmade and hand-painted Hasamiyaki porcelain gaiwan decorated with mountain and water landscapes.
Hasamiyaki is a type of porcelain first made in Hasami town. The technique was brought from Korea and looks back 400 years of history. The porcelain is fired at a very high temperature, and as the surface vitrifies, it is suitable for all classes of teas.
The blue and white pottery is called "sometsuke". Sometsuke is a technique Chinese potters have been using since the 12th century. In Japan, it was introduced in the 17th century. The technique involves painting a design or picture with cobalt-rich, blue pigment on white, bisque-fired porcelain. The porcelain is then coated with transparent glaze and fired again.
Place of Origin: Nagasaki Pref. Japan

Handling precautions
Initiation:
Before first use, rinse the cup with lukewarm (not hot) water, then let it dry completely!
Usage:
Porcelain is sensitive to sudden temperature changes, never expose the teapot to open flame! Avoid placing it on hot surfaces, like a stove, and never use it in a microwave or oven.
Cleaning:
Rinse it well after every use. It is better to avoid dishwashing liquid, but you can use gentle, organic soap to clean your teapot. Never use bleach!
Avoid using a dishwasher or dryer!
Avoid scrubbing the teapot.
Storage:
After use, always let the teapot dry completely, for if stored away while still wet, it might develop an unpleasant smell or mold.
