About this work
This tea set with idyllic lakeside Chinese landscapes has a side-handled pot called a kyūsu , used for steeping, straining, and serving tea. Unlike some others, this set also has a yuzamashi , a container used to cool boiled water to just the right temperature for the best flavor when steeping.
