it's much lighter than it looks being made of bone china, it pours like a dream even when at capacity.

Re: NEW! Ode to the Kyusu
That's a great looking Kyusu! It has a lot of personality. I like the strainer's square holes, it really adds to the overall appearance of the piece.

Re: NEW! Ode to the Kyusu
Wow, Victoria, that is really beautiful, I don't think I've seen a handpainted banko. Where did you find it? What kind of filter does it have?

Thanks, but I don't think it is hand painted, more like a stencil but I'll have a closer look. It's from CD Japan.

I have probably 8-10, and use only 1-2. Before answering the survey I just didn't realize this. I seldom use a kyusu but just love Japanese porcelain!

It is 8-10 oz. With a 360 screen.
Nicely balanced, it will stand on its handle.
Fast pour.

Re: NEW! Ode to the Kyusu
Great Kyusu-s, Geek, blairswhitaker, and Victoria! Thank you all for sharing them with us.
OK, pardon the double post, I posted this in the Hagi topic yesterday, but used this today! I should have taken an action photo ...
Ao Tebineri Hagi-yaki. Seigan Blue (SO #11). This is a pretty substantial piece but a blast to use!!!!! It has an amazing feel in hand.
Sorry, not the greatest photo, just a phone shot.

Re: NEW! Ode to the Kyusu
Nice Chip! I am working on a pic of all my Seigan Blue right now. A kyusu would be a nice addition.
Re: NEW! Ode to the Kyusu

My first kyusu ever arrived in the mail today from Hojo. I am so pleased! No more using a sink strainer for sencha or fuka-like leaves
