Junzo spent a year to complete this stylish teapot with high usability since he got the idea. It was a process of trial and error. Junzo thinks that most important for teapots is ease of use. Gripping of handle, lightness of body, tightness of lid to body, water flow from spout – Users would feel comfortability for all that. Maekawa Junzo was born in 1976. A ceramic artist in Tokoname city, that is known as “teapot town of Japan”. There are many teapot artists in the city. Most of their works are unglazed teapot with red clay or mountain clay.
