Yokode no kyusu
Meaning: Yokode no kyusu (?????) literally means "side hand tea pot". Left-handed yokode no kyusu are also available.
Design: Typically, the Yokode no kyusu tea pot has a �cylinder-shaped handle placed 90 degrees from the spout. Originally, �this shape made it easy to pour when sitting on a tatami mat in a �traditional Japanese room, as the host would sit across from the guest �rather than pour tea from the side or from behind.
Purpose: This is widely used in Japan for preparing �sencha green tea. The shape was made to be efficient when pouring tea in �small amounts quickly distributing among several cups (the tea at the �end of pouring tends to be stronger than at the beginning).
