Kyusu Retailers

[bambooforest]

Has anyone made a list of the finest kyusu retailers? I think such a list would be incredibly helpful.

For those interested in buying a kyusu, I think it's optimal to have a list of them available to preclude the need to sift through post after post after post. Time is holy. At the very least... a thread that lists them would also be highly beneficial and maximize time.

I just came across this one which looks promising: http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/gyokko/

artistic nippon seems to be the preferred vendor around here due to the high quality of products offered and high level of customer service.

Artistic Nippon consistently has lovely pots, though I haven't sprung for one of them yet.

I've had good service and really nice kyusus from the tokoname catalog--that's where I got this beauty:



and don't forget our teaware artisans....this one from TC TA SO #3 by Petr Novak




I've also had good service from Magokorodo's Ebay store--Mago helps to put together a lot of our TC SOs, but I haven't yet bought a kyusu from his site.

Artisticnippon and Hojo are great.

I've also used everyonestea, but not for kyusus.....great service though.

The above is my contribution to this thread.

I've never ordered from Thes Du Japon; however, their caliber of kyusus gives them a rightful spot in this thread.

Incidentally, everyonestea looks like they have a very promising blog:

I appreciate everyone who has posted here, making it so much easier for people to find their ideal kyusu.
