Teruyuki's specialty is the "Inka" technique. The number of seal flowers applied to a single teapot ranges from 100 to 200. A great deal of effort, time and care is required to create and stamp the flowers onto the surface of the teapot. The "inka" is not a simple stamping technique, but is done with care and attention.
