About Tokoname: Located on the west coast of the Chita Peninsula facing Ise Bay, Tokoname City in Aichi Prefecture is known as a pottery town nationwide. Tokoname ware is counted as one of the six oldest kilns in Japan with a history going back to 1100AD.Â
Tokoname teapots were designated as a traditional craft by the Japanese government in 1976 and are characterised by their fine grain and strong firing, which is achieved by using a clay that contains high amounts of iron.Â
