About Pareja de tazas Yunomi Banko-Yaki - Masaki Tachi - 80 ml

Una pareja refinada de yunomi Banko-Yaki de Masaki Tachi, hechos a mano con profundo respeto por la cerámica japonesa tradicional y con el tratamiento de superficie característico del artista.

Estas tazas llevan la textura chigire de Tachi, una técnica cuyo nombre significa literalmente «mil cortes». Más que una decoración aplicada, el chigire se obtiene a mano, con una aguja fina que graba y trabaja la superficie de la arcilla antes de la cocción, para un motivo rítmico, casi tejido, que recuerda una costura delicada o unas escamas. Cada incisión debe ser segura y deliberada para obtener una textura regular en toda la superficie.

El cuerpo es una arcilla Banko típica, un gres marrón rojizo oscuro de Yokkaichi, prefectura de Mie, resistente al calor y conocido por su durabilidad y su profundidad mineral. Cocida sin esmalte, la arcilla mantiene un acabado sobrio y táctil, cálido en la mano. Para el sencha, el hojicha o el genmaicha de cada día, o como pareja de colección.

Teaware Care

Japanese teaware is made to be used and enjoyed. With simple, consistent care, your kyusu, shiboridashi, hōhin, yunomi, and matcha ware can age beautifully over many years.

In most cases, the best approach is also the simplest: clean soon after use, use warm water, and allow every piece to dry completely before storing.

Everyday Care

After each tea session, remove the leaves and rinse your teaware as soon as possible. Letting wet leaves or tea sit for too long can lead to odors, staining, and moisture problems, especially in unglazed clay or more porous glazed wares.

For routine cleaning, warm water and a gentle hand rinse are usually enough.

Once rinsed, allow the piece to dry fully before storing it. This matters most for kyusu, shiboridashi, hōhin, and porous chawan, where moisture can linger in spouts, lids, filters, and clay bodies. Wiping with a clean cloth is fine, but air-drying is still important, especially for more absorbent wares.

What to Avoid

Avoid soap, bleach, harsh cleaners, and abrasive scrubbers on most handmade teaware.

This is especially important for unglazed interiors and porous glazes, which can absorb residues and affect the character of future brews. Dishwashers are also best avoided for most handcrafted teaware, as heat, detergents, and vibration can be hard on delicate or handmade pieces.

Unglazed Clay

Unglazed clay teapots and brewing vessels should generally be cleaned with water only. These clays can interact subtly with water and tea, and they may absorb soap or lingering aromas.

Tea stains in unglazed kyusu are not necessarily a problem. A gentle patina is often a natural part of regular use and can become part of the piece’s character over time.

Porous Glazes

More porous glazed wares need slightly more attention. Pieces with porous glazes can absorb moisture and slowly develop character through use.

Because of that porosity, these wares should be rinsed promptly after use and dried thoroughly. Soap is best avoided, since it can seep into the clay or glaze.

Kyusu Tips

Cleaning all of the leaves out of a kyusu can sometimes be difficult, especially with narrow openings or built-in filters.

A useful method is to fill the pot with water, swirl it gently to loosen the leaves, and pour them out. If small leaves cling to the filter, use a soft brush such as an old toothbrush very gently, then rinse again through the spout to ensure it is clear.

Storage

Store teaware only when completely dry. Trapped moisture can lead to mold or stale smells. For more absorbent pieces, give them extra air-drying time before putting them away in cupboards or boxes.
