Description

There is a discipline to this teapot that reveals itself slowly. The Obi-Ami Kyusu Jugusa is handcrafted in Tokoname, Japan.

Using kokudei, Tokoname's deep black clay, born from the same iron-rich earth as the celebrated red shudei but fired in low-oxygen conditions that transform it into a surface of austere, velvety depth.

Across its wide, flat form, hand-painted vertical brush strokes in white, sage green and dusty rose break the black with a quiet, considered artistry. Inside, the Obi-Ami filter, a fine 360° stainless steel mesh that lines the entire inner circumference, ensures a consistently clean, clog-free pour regardless of leaf size or style.

At 370ml, this is a teapot equally suited to a generous solo session or an unhurried shared brew.

Handpicked by AICHA directly from master artisans in Tokoname.

ARTISAN TEA CRAFTSMANSHIP

Every piece in AICHA's ceramics collection begins not at the wheel, but in the earth of Tokoname, Japan's oldest kiln city, with a pottery tradition stretching back to the 12th century. Nestled in the Chita Peninsula of Aichi Prefecture, Tokoname's master artisans have spent generations perfecting the art of shaping mineral-rich local clay into vessels of quiet, functional beauty. AICHA handpicks each piece directly from these artisans, not for volume, but for the rare excellence that only generational craft produces. The finest tea, brewed in the finest vessel. That is the only standard we accept.

THE TOKONAME PHILOSOPHY: FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION

In Tokoname, beauty and purpose have never been in conflict. Every piece that leaves a master artisan's hands is governed by one discipline: form must serve function without compromise. The weight must balance. The proportions must feel deliberate. The finish must enhance the brew, not merely please the eye. For those in Dubai and across the UAE who seek teaware of genuine substance and not just aesthetic appeal, this is the philosophy that sets AICHA's Tokoname collection apart.

MINDFUL MOMENTS OF CALM

The Japanese tea ritual has endured for over a thousand years for one reason. It demands your full presence. To warm the vessel, measure the leaves, watch the first pour. Each piece in AICHA's ceramics collection is crafted for exactly this quality of attention. In the rhythm of Dubai's daily life, these are not objects you simply own. They are rituals you return to, one deliberate, unhurried cup at a time.

PREMIUM CLAY AND TEXTURE DETAILS

Tokoname clay is defined not by its colour, but by its composition. Whether fired to Shudei's deep vermillion or Kokudei's rich black, the unglazed interior carries the same fundamental truth: mineral-rich, naturally porous, and responsive to every brew. With use, the clay seasons gradually, absorbing the character of the teas it holds and becoming, over time, a vessel entirely your own. No two pieces leave the kiln identical. That variation is not a flaw. It is the signature of authentic handcraft.
