Hikari – Light of the Hearth

• The Hikari is more than just a vessel for tea—it is a symbol of the quiet moments spent around a hearth, where warmth and light come together to foster reflection. Named after the Japanese word for “light,” the Hikari embraces the elemental connection between fire and tea, inviting you to enjoy a grounded, peaceful tea ritual.

• Handcrafted with a rough, natural texture, the Hikari captures the raw beauty of Japan’s tea traditions, echoing the rugged landscapes where monks would prepare tea in solitude. The simple flame beneath the teapot provides not just warmth but a soft, glowing light that enhances the serenity of each moment.

• In ancient times, such vessels were used to keep tea warm during long, meditative sessions in Japan’s remote temples. The Hikari’s sturdy design and calming presence make it the perfect companion for those seeking balance and peace, both in their tea rituals and in life.

• Let the Hikari bring the warmth of the hearth into your home, and with it, a sense of calm and tranquility that has endured through centuries of tea tradition.

Note: While few designs from ancient times have survived to the present day, we have meticulously combined various elements inspired by those that have endured. The Kumo teapot reflects this rich heritage, blending traditional craftsmanship with a unique aesthetic to create a product that honors the past while serving modern tea rituals.

1. Fill the teapot with your favorite tea leaves and hot water.

2. Light the candle beneath to keep the tea warm.

3. Allow the tea to steep for a few minutes before serving.

4. Enjoy your tea while maintaining the perfect temperature.

NOTE: This is a standard method for brewing tea, but feel free to explore more sophisticated techniques to elevate your tea experience.

+ Hand Wash Only: Clean gently with warm water.

+ Avoid Detergents: Do not use soap to preserve the natural texture and finish.

+ No Abrasive Scrubbers: Use soft cloth or sponge for cleaning.

+ Dry Thoroughly: Air dry completely before storage to prevent moisture damage.

+ Avoid Sudden Temperature Changes: Do not expose to extreme heat or cold to prevent cracking.

+ Store Carefully: Keep in a dry place, away from direct sunlight.

This care routine ensures longevity while maintaining the aesthetic of the lotus-inspired design.
