Boasting a pottery tradition in Aichi Prefecture that stretches back over 1,000 years, the defining feature of traditional Tokoname ware is its iron-rich clay, which is traditionally fired unglazed (Yakishime).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTokoname Teapot (Kyusu)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe yokode kyusu (side-handled teapot) is the quintessential symbol of Tokoname craftsmanship.
