Yamada Yûtarô is a very young potter from Tokoname who specializes in teapots and is already displaying incredible talent. The son of a Tokoname potter specializing in pots and vases, Yûtarô’s enthusiasm for tea has led him down the very difficult path of making kyûsu teapots. Today in Japan, young potters very rarely choose to perpetuate the craft of kyûsu making as a specialty. Moreover, he makes his own clay.
His teapots are extremely light and they handle remarkably well.
