A unique piece handcrafted in the tradition of Banko ceramics from Mie Prefecture.
This teapot invites calm and contemplation.
Its subtle gradient, from deep black to nuanced blue, evokes the sky just before dawn. The texture is soft, yet the material retains its strength—the patience of shaped earth and the fire that reveals its hues.
Each imperfection tells a story of the artisan’s touch, every curve whispers what truly matters.
This is an object to slow down with, to pour from, to listen to.
A moment suspended in your hands.
Place it in your home as a promise of calm, or offer it as a fragment of the sky fallen upon your table.

About Banko Ceramics
Banko ceramics trace its roots back to the Edo period when the affluent merchant Nunami Rōzan established a kiln in what is now Mie Prefecture. Seeking to create objects that would withstand the test of time, Rozan engraved the seal 「萬古不易」"Banko, eternal and unchanging” on his works. This seal became both the symbol and the name of the tradition.
With limited natural resources, Banko artisans developed remarkable technical mastery to adapt to the needs of each era. This ability to innovate while honoring tradition has allowed Banko ceramics to endure for over 300 years. Today, it continues to enrich Japanese homes with its durability, understated beauty, and a quiet yet resilient spirit.
