A recipient of the Prime Minister’s Award, he brings an engineering-based perspective to his work, carefully exploring how clay affects the taste of tea and how a clean, precise pour can enhance the function of a kyusu. The smooth curves shaped on the wheel and the excellent water cutoff reflect his sincere pursuit of both usability and beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe defining feature of this kyusu is its wide, flat form known as “gokuhira.” Its broad base allows the tea leaves to spread out more easily inside the pot, helping the umami and sweetness of fine sencha or gyokuro come through clearly. Opening the lid to see the leaves gently unfurl and the tea’s color deepen adds a quiet richness to the experience of preparing Japanese tea.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YUGEN ONLINE STORE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40340744437841,"sku":"A-040101","price":18000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/1044\/6665\/files\/test9.jpg?v=1772933666","url":"https:\/\/www.yugen-kyoto.com\/en\/products\/kyusu-maekawa-junzou","provider":"YUGEN ONLINE STORE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
