Seiji Ito has been making teapots called “kyusu” in Japanese for 50 years in Tokoname, Aichi Prefecture, where high-quality clay can be obtained, facing Ise Bay. The works created by his delicate potter’s wheel technique brings a beauty and comfort of nature into our everyday lives.

Ito’s works are also known for its good design. In this exhibition, we will exhibit and sell various handmade tea wares including a red clay teapot, which is said to mellow the taste of tea and has been used in Japan for a long time. Please enjoy your daily teatime with a tea set from Tokoname to pour tasty tea down to the last drop.
