DETAIL
There are many different hawan for making tea that you can use as well as to use it in your
daily life and I think, it all comes down to preference. One of my favorite things about preparing
green tea is knowing that the tea bowl, chawan, is made by hand ... Hand formed. Only
hands, clay, and iron or wood scraper.
The texture of the chawan is wonderfully irregular and a delight to hold; smooth glaze but with
numerous bumps and hollows that are so beloved in hand-formed bowls.
The most important is the color and texture of the non-glaze part that makes you feel the nature.
These chawans was created for communication, and they also do it on a tactile level...
When you drink tea, you immerse yourself in the world. The world that cannot be expressed in
words - taste, colors, patterns, and textures ...
有許多不同的茶碗可以用於泡茶，也可以用在日常生活當中。我覺得到頭來還是看個人喜好。
在準備綠茶的過程中，我最喜歡的就是知道手中的茶碗是手工製的。手捏成形，只有雙手、
陶土和鐵製或木製刮板。
茶碗的質感有種美妙的不規則性，捧起來令人感到愉快，而平滑的釉面上有許多手捏茶碗才
有、讓人愛不釋手的凹凹凸凸。
更重要的是在沒有釉藥覆蓋的區域，那種顏色與質感可以讓人感受到大自然。這些茶碗是為
了傳遞訊息而創作，而且能在觸覺的層次溝通。
在喝茶的時候，你會沈浸在那個世界裡，那是一個無法用文字表達的世界：味覺、顏色、圖案、
質地。
