Tea Bowl GizaGiza

The Mushikui tea bowl emulates the appearance of wood consumed by termites, a desired characteristic in traditional tea ceremonies. This natural design element perfectly embodies the concept of Wabi Sabi, adding a sense of antiquity and duality to this beautiful inorganic object.

The artist, Chie Kobayashi, possesses knowledge of Japanese and Chinese tea ceremonies, allowing for a deep understanding of the intricate mechanics of creating a vessel. Despite its bold character, each piece has a remarkable lightness to it. The lip is thin, the shape’s lines are soft, and the hand-carved details are exquisitely evident. This stoic white canvas is rich with intricate details waiting to be discovered. Every use of this vessel will make it one-of-a-kind.
