Handmade ceramic teapot by Tanikawa Jin, from Tokoname.
Tanka, literally meaning "carbonization", is a technique, when the ceramic ware is fired for over 30 hours in a reduction chamber. The marks on the surface are achieved with the so-called Hidasuki technique. Before the final firing, the teapot is wrapped in rice straws, and as the straws burn, they react with the iron in the clay resulting in unique scarlet patterns on the surface.
Jin Tanka Mogake shiboridashi has exceptionally tall walls. Thanks to that, the clay does not get overheated around the rim even if hot water is used for brewing tea, so the pot is not only suitable for premium Japanese green teas, but it's ideal for Chinese and Taiwanese teas as well.

Handling precautions
Initiation:
Before first use, rinse it with hot water, then let it dry completely!
Usage:
Avoid placing it on hot surfaces, like a stove, and never use in a microwave or oven.
Cleaning:
Tea stain is the natural part of a teapot's "maturing process", but if you prefer to avoid it, rinse the teapot well after every use, do not let the tea leaves sit in it for too long. It is better to avoid dishwashing liquid, but you can use gentle, organic soap to clean your pot. Never use bleach!
Avoid using dishwasher or dryer!
Storage:
After use, always let it dry completely, for if stored away while still wet, it might develop an unpleasant smell or mold.
Non-glazed ceramic tea pots absorb scents and flavours, so only prepare one class of tea in them (green tea, black tea, roasted tea, etc).
