A teapot exhibition hall located about a 7-minute walk from Tokoname Station.
We have a wide selection of handmade teapots for sale, including those made by the late Living National Treasure, Yamada Tsuneyama.
Yohei Konishi is the pinnacle of modern-day teapot craftsmanship.
Konishi's works are so highly regarded that he has held solo exhibitions at famous department stores across the country, and because each piece is one of a kind, they are extremely rare and only a few stores carry them. However, Tokoname-yaki Kyusu-kan always carries Konishi's works.
The unique kneading and cutting technique creates a new expression while retaining a classic feel.

This shop is quietly located on the Pottery Walk.
In this modern age of material abundance, the shop offers Tokoname ware that is designed with practicality in mind, with the hope of proposing a new way for people to interact with things through "encounters with pottery that you will want to cherish."
The shop's original teapots are long-selling items thanks to their standard shape that makes them easy to use in any situation.
Everyday items excavated from nearby areas were on display.
It is estimated to date from the Heian to Kamakura period, which shows that Tokoname ware was deeply rooted in people's lives even back then.
The vessels, inspired by the style of the time, have a rustic warmth to them with the feel of the earth.
