Yokode Kyusu (Traditional Japanese Side-Handle Tea Pots)

(48 products)

Yokode no Kyusu (横手の急須) literally means "side hand tea pot". It has a cylinder-shaped handle placed 90 degrees from the spout.

Originally, this shape made it easy to pour when sitting on a tatami mat in a traditional Japanese room, as the host would sit across from the guest rather than pour tea from the side or from behind.
