Hi there peeps-
I'm looking for a left handed kyusu for a friend that recently got into tea, to compliment the gaiwan I just obtained for her.
She's not looking to spend a whole lot just yet, as I said she's just getting into it. Less than $40 would be OK, around the $20 mark would be ideal. I would also be interested in buying a used one if any forum member has one they would like to get rid of to a blossoming teahead
.
Thanks!

I'm sure there's a lefty out there to be found, but it's been a while since I've looked at kyusu. Your other option would be a houhin, since those have no handle and would be easier to find.

Toru at AN would locate one for you ... the problem could be price since he deals with artisan and not so much mass produced.

Alternately, possibly likely less costly but more work ... scroll down for some of their lefties, but if you email them, they likely have cheaper ones too:

Same site, some kyusu-s
