SOUKOU BLACK UNGLAZED HOUHIN TeapotSUZU SHINOHARA TAKASHI Wood Fired Black Pitcher Gong Dao Bei (Customer Message) Thank you for sending the houhin and katakuchi to me. They arrived safely an hour ago and they are very beautiful.  I  brewed the very first tea-- the Tenkaichi Gyokuro by Ippodo Tea--in this beautiful houhin by Soukou, and I used Suzu Shinohara pitcher as the katakuchi. The brew from this unglazed houhin is excellent. I have always wanted a houhin, and I think this is the most beautiful wabi houhin I have ever seen. I shall treasure it.   Artist Shinohara Takashi Page

Japanese cup in Germany (Shinohara Takashi)

Wood Fired SUZU-YAKI Black & Ash Cup Shinohara Takashi  (Customer Message) I just couldn’t resist the beauty. I thought about the cup a lot and I just had to buy it. The natural, simple beauty, the moss-like glazing from the pine ash on the black surface was just too stunning. I love the withered architecture of old Shinto and Buddhist temples in Japan, the old woodwork, the moss in the forests and on the graves leading to Okunoin on Koyasan. This great Suzu Yaki cup, created by SHINOHARA TAKASHI 篠原敬 reminds me of the mystic, withered natural beauty of the...

Japanese Teapot in Taiwan (Shunen)

(Customer Message) 今天剛收到,將舜園的植物壺與自己收藏的壺比較了一下~小巧又精緻,銳利的直線構成了方型的壺身,看起來十分的俐落。 壺身四邊半圓的倒角讓手的觸感非常好,用一個手掌就能握住。 整個壺身搭配植物的雕刻表現出淡雅 花與草這些植物給我一種“疾風知勁草”的感覺,面對大風吹動也還能不被吹倒繼續生存。 疾風知勁草 (Translation) I just received the botanic teapot today. I compared the Shunen teapot  with my collection. It is detailed and delicate, and the sharp straight lines form a square-shaped body, which looks very sophisticated. The semi-circular filleted edge on the four sides of the body feels very good. The teapot can be gripped with one hand. The whole body is carved with plants that shows elegance. Those flowers and grass give me a feeling of “疾風知勁草strong wind tells strong grass”.  Even if strong wind blows, grass stay there and survive without being blown away.   Gust of wind knows...

Japanese Teapot in Taiwan (Housei)

(Customer Message) 這是最期待收到的一件收藏,僅僅只是放在燈光下慢慢的欣賞窯變的顏色就能讓我感到滿足。 作者利用顏色的分層再用雕刻花的裝飾,讓整個作品看起來更豐富~連壺蓋的底部都有作者的雕刻 整個壺完全融入了作者的工藝及心血,令人激賞。 (Translation) This is the collection I am most looking forward to receiving. Just putting it under the light and slowly appreciate the Yohen* color gradation (*changing colors made by fire/flame during firing in a kiln). It make me satisfied. The author uses the layering of colors and the decoration of carved flowers to make the whole work look richer. Even the backside of the lid has the artist's carving. The entire pot is fully integrated into the artist's craftsmanship and effort, which is admirable.   Artist HOUSEI's page

Very beautiful and exquisite teapot, this teapot has a high craftsmanship. It exudes extraordinary mood. The beautiful cherry blossom pattern carved on the modest dark green teapot brings mood of spring. Cherry blossoms give people a splendor of spring, but they also give people a feeling that life is easy to disappear. Watching the decoration on the green clay  teapot and drinking tea slowly, it calms my mind, the blooming cherry blossoms bring vitality through eyes. It brings a bit of peace in our busy life.  (Artist...

Japanese cup in Hong Kong (Shinohara Takashi)

  (Customer Message) Since I received Mr. Shinohara’s works a few weeks ago, I have kept thinking why his works are appealing in a gentle yet longstanding way. To me, each of them is unique as each of them has a voice of the nature. His tea cups have been used for several times, for tea or water drinking, I feel that, in subtle ways, the cups soften and enrich the substance of the liquid inside. This is a new experience for me, so I look very much forward to meeting new products of Mr. Shinohara in Jan or Feb. ...
