With a coarser glaze, the Earth teapot has rougher style than Green Tea. Earth was handmade in the small village of Onta where a few potters work together as a community creating objects for daily use in the spirit of Mingei, Japanese folk artmovement founded by Yanagi Sōetsu in the 1920s.
Onta ware has been designated as an Intangible Cultural Property of Japan in 1970 and upgraded to Important Intangible Cultural Property of Japan in 1995. The sound of the water mill is one of Japan’s 100 Soundscapes, a collection of sounds that are culturally significant and protected for future generations.
The Earth teapot can be enjoyed every day for tea rituals. The natural clay and the carefully crafted spout create a soft pour and subtly influence the flavor of the infusion, offering a tactile experience in respect for natural materials and centuries-old processes.
