Description

This cast-iron teapot is the result of the centuries-old expertise of the WAZUQU foundry.

The teapot's name, Muji, means “plain, without pattern” in Japanese and refers to its simple, unadorned design, which draws attention to the material and gives it an elegant look. This is in keeping with the aesthetic and spiritual concept of wabi-sabi, which has its origins in the tea ceremony. Wabi refers to beauty in its most modest form, sometimes marked by imperfection, while sabi is the appeal of objects that become more beautiful over time.

The Muji teapot has a spout for delicate, precise pouring, as well as a stainless steel filter.

Easy to use, Wazuqu teapots are on average 25% lighter than typical Japanese cast-iron teapots, thanks to the foundry’s perfection of Japanese craftsmanship over more than 400 years.

1 – After using the teapot, rinse it out with hot water, avoiding the use of detergents.
