Wow, congrats. Beautiful! I have yet to purchase a Hokujo ... or even a mogake for that matter. Must fix this.

It looks really nice, I suppose it features a sasame filter, so you will enjoy a flawless pouring experience. Have you ordered it yet? How much till it gets in your hands?

(Later edit) : Forgot to ask, what´s the capacity?

[Cyphre]

Christmas is near, so you can say it´s a present. For her. Introduce it like :
"unique piece of art skilfully handcrafted by the famous Shimizu Genji-san" and most chances are that she will love it , too.

Cheers.

I bought my first real kyusu from there. Very pleased with the way everything went out. I´m sure you won´t regret it. Now you only have to arm yourself with a few days of patience. (That´s the only hard part)
Congrats!

First, I think the Hokujo mogake's are great kyusu and a very good choice for Japanese sencha. I own several of them.

Second, Japanese Hand Crafts is a very good and honest vendor, so you should be fine here as well. I have made quite a few purchases from them and everything was always perfect.

so i would like to have a suggestion to which kind of teapot is the best to use it with chinese and japanese green teas (i love very much kyusu, it can be ok?)
thx very much

Tokoname or Banko unglazed kyusu are very good for Japanese green tea but I wouldn't use an Yixing for Chinese green tea. Some people on this forum say that Tokoname kyusu also work well with Chinese tea.

I prefer procelain gaiwans for Chinese green tea and unglazed Tokoname kyusu for Japanese sencha.
