Jin Hidasuki Shiboridashi - 70 ml

Jin Hidasuki Shiboridashi - 70 ml

Shiboridashi by master Jin Tanikawa, 70ml, decorated with Hidasuki method, unglazed inside.

Hidasuki is a signature Bizen technique in which straw is wrapped around a piece of pottery and fired to create a beautiful pattern where the part of the pottery touched by the straw turns bright scarlet. 

Shiboridashi is made of white clay, that changes its color the more it is used. As this teapot is not glazed, it absorbs the tea, that oxidizes even inside the clay, turning it black. This is a natural process, considered one of the artistic beauties of these Japanese ceramics.

A beautiful collector's piece, packed in a wooden signed box. It is not always possible to find these masterful teapots again, they are always one of a kind and rarities..

Before use: rinse the teapot in hot water and allow to dry completely before first use

Maintenance: do not use detergents, dishwasher. Clean by hand, with clean water, without chemicals. Do not clean with clean detergents. The teapot should be left to dry after each use.
