Ohmitogei: Doro-ai Shiboridashi Set

Shiboridashi Teapot and Cup set by Ohmi Ceramic Research Centre 

This set comes with two tea cups, a cooling bowl and shiboridashi teapot. 

This Kusatsu-yaki teapot is made using local iron rich clay from the Kusatsu area. 

Mud painting: This is a unique manufacturing method in which a specially formulated mud containing iron is applied over the clay. The mud is sprayed with a sprayer to create texture and contrasting colours of light and shade.

- Use the bowl to cool your water before making green teas: then use it to decant the brewed tea before serving into each of the cups.
