About Rikyu

Rikyu -RIKYU-

Sen no Rikyu, the tea master who perfected the culture of wabi-cha, is said to have worked with Kyoto artisans to create matcha bowls suitable for the tea ceremony.
QUTOTEN.'s model "Rikyu" is a flowerpot inspired by a matcha bowl known as the Rikyu style.
We aimed for a presence that exudes a sense of "wabi-sabi" that blends naturally into everyday life without being too assertive.
This model, "Rikyu," best embodies one of QUTOTEN.'s philosophies : "Don't stand out, blend in."

About Touan, the Kyoto-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki pottery manufacturer

About Touan, the Kyoto-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki Pottery Maker

Since its founding in 1922 at Sennyuji Temple in Higashiyama, Kyoto, the Kyo-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki pottery manufacturer "Touan" has continued to use high-quality raw materials and create works by skilled craftsmen, which have earned it a high reputation for their quality and creativity.
While inheriting the traditions of Kyoto ware from Nonomura Ninsei and Ogata Kenzan, he is constantly working on technological innovation and continues to create works that stand out from other Kyoto ware.
"Rikyu" was planned and designed by QUTOTEN., and after numerous consultations with the fourth-generation head of the family, Yoshiaki Tsuchibuchi, about the development of glazes and the selection of clay, the series was produced by artisans.
