This unique Set was made in Shigaraki by the the Sotoen Pottery Studio. Straw was tied around the vessel prior to fiering by using a special kiln with a shape that uses the natural slope of a mountain. This kind of kiln makes room for several chambers in a row with the biggest one at the end of the kiln. After placing each item by hand in the kiln the firing process will last up to 7 days and nights. Before the front is cut open and everything inside is removed the kiln is cooled down for another 3 days.
The spot where the straw was tied now has a very unique and matchless pattern. This teacup has due to its warm color has a unique charisma to it. The size is perfect for the highest-grade Sencha or Gyokuro.
 
Hohin is among the most popular teapots and is mainly used to brew quality teas such as high-end Sencha and Gyokuro. These teapots steep tea efficiently and will give you the best flavor of your tea. Hohin teapots do not have a handle on the side what makes it a little bit special to hold for new users. It could get a little bit warm, so you have to be careful when holding the teapot the first time. However with a little bit of practice, you can easily master the art of handling them without fear dropping them or getting burned.
Yunomi is a japanese tea cup without a handle. During the Edo period with drinking tea gaining in popularity usage of the vessel slightly shifted from traditional tea bowls to smaller teacups. There are roughly two types of Yunomi, one is a bowl shape, and the other more common one has a cylindrical shape.
Yusamashi is a water cooling vessel. This accessory allows you to cool down hot water prior to adding it to the tealeaves. Usually used along with a teapot for the finest-quality green teas. If you often enjoy high quality Japanese green tea, the Yuzamashi is indispensable.
