Wares made by Itō Seiji (伊藤成二) who is the second-generation head of Jinshū Pottery (甚秋陶園). Born in 1949, Itō-san shifted away from the mass-production style of his father towards more individualist wares, focusing primarily on kyusu. Today, Jinshū's name is almost synonymous with his exquisite hira-kyusu (flat teapots). This teapot comes in a kiribako (桐箱 - paulownia wood box) signed and sealed by the artist.
