During the Middle Ages, Tokoname was Japan's largest ceramics production area. In addition to everyday items like plates, bowls, and pots, large ceramic vessels such as jars and pots were also produced.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFrom the late Edo period (around 1858), red clay tea and sake vessels also began to be produced. Electric kiln technology for red clay was established from the mid-Showa period (1962). Tokoname red clay teapots are fired at approximately 1100°C. Tokoname clay is well suited to the slightly lower temperatures of electric kilns, compared to the high temperatures of wood-fired kilns, which reach 1200-1300°C.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe Tokoname region, which was at the bottom of Lake Tokai millions of years ago, has fine-grained clay ideal for teapots. Tokoname boasts a wealth of teapot-making techniques, including advanced molding techniques and the \"rubbing\" technique, which closely aligns the lid and body of the teapot. It is Japan's largest teapot production area.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"煎茶 中国茶 台湾茶向け 日本製急須\/茶壺専門店　東山堂","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51963562983705,"sku":null,"price":6490.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/8745\/6025\/files\/black-clay-gyokuro-teaware-1.jpg?v=1770528001","url":"https:\/\/tozandosenchaki.com\/en\/products\/black-clay-gyokuro-teaware-en","provider":"煎茶 中国茶向け茶器とお茶の専門店　東山堂","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
