Can someone help me find a Japanese teapot?

Question

I'm looking for a Japanese teapot for a friend who doesn't own a teapot and enjoys Japanese tea, mostly higher grades.  It needs to have a filter in it, although I'm not picky as to material, and be in the 8-16 ounce range.  I'd prefer something with a side handle, but he's left-handed so it has to have the reversed handle.  Any advice on where to find something like this?  I live in a small city and can't go to a metropolis to shop.

There is a store in the mall that sells great teas and the tea pots and sets, but they also have a great website.  

Left Handed people have no problem here - handles are on the top on some of there pots.

Japanese teapots don't have filter with it. What you can do is also get a Mesh Tea Ball, it's like a filter.

Here's a site where you can make some choices.

Here's a site for something like an infuser for tea - just fill it half way and put in pot with hot water.

LOL What does the handle have to do with it, you turn the damn thing around!

Japanese tea pots don't have a filter, you may want to rethink what you're looking for.
