Tokoname 常滑焼 is one of the six oldest kilns in Japan, a city of pottery steeped in history with a history over 1000 years. Tokoname-ware is a form of ceramic pottery that is produced in the area around the city of Tokoname in Aichi prefecture. This traditional craft comes from one of the Six Ancient Kilns of Japan. Its unique color is caused by the iron which makes the clay turn red after baking. 

This teapot includes "banded mesh strainer" which is designed to prevent the tea leaves from flowing out. This way the functionality of the tea strainer is not affected no matter which direction the tea leaves are pushed inside the kyusu.

Kyusu (急須) are traditional Japanese teapots mainly made of fired volcanic clay of very high quality. The word "Kyusu" simply means teapot, even though in common usage Kyusu usually does refer to a teapot with a side handle.
