This Tokoname-yaki tea set includes one dobin (top-handled teapot) and five matching yunomi (teacups) each featuring a hobnail texture like that seen on many tetsubin (cast-iron kettles) and tetsu-kyusu (cast-iron teapots). This set was made by Morishita Gisen (stamped Gisen, 義仙).

This teapot has a debeso style ceramic strainer which won't impart a metallic taste to your tea,

Tokoname-yaki (常滑焼) is a type of Japanese pottery that traditionally comes from Tokoname in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. The site of one of Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns, pottery has been made in Tokoname since the 12th century.

Today, Tokoname ware is known for its iconic brick-red clay called shudei. Famously used in teaware and bonsai pots, this clay’s vibrant colour comes from its rich iron content. Tea steeped in unglazed Tokoname teapots is said to have a mellower taste.
