Banko-yaki: 300 Years of Tradition in Japanese Pottery and Tea Culture

Banko-yaki is a type of pottery that originated during the Edo period and boasts a history of over 300 years. Its name reflects a wish for “eternal prosperity and excellence.” Although it experienced a period of decline, the craft was revitalized by kilns in Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture, where it flourished alongside the rise of sencha tea culture. Banko-yaki teapots are renowned for their distinctive combination of durability and lightness, and, together with Tokoname-yaki, they continue to play a vital role in supporting Japan's tea culture.
