Handmade Hohin Teapot Akebono Sakura

Hohin or Houhin is a small Japanese tea pot which is used for brewing high quality tea leaves such as Gyokuro and high quality Sencha.

In Japanese it is written as: 宝瓶 (Hohin), which means ‘treasure jar’.

This Hohin is made by a Japanese craftsman 近藤清泉 Kondo Seisen.  He learned from the 1st Kondo Seisen and inherited the kiln in 2009.

He specializes 三島手 (Mishimade), 御本手 (Gohonde) and 透かし彫り (open work), and his sharp yet warm works have gained good reputation.

The hand-painted cherry blossoms is very popular design and this Hohin is the latest work from the same design.
