Nishihara Akira – Pine Chawan

Blue pine branches sweep across a hand-thrown chawan, the rippled walls and irregular rim marking every turn of the wheel. A tea bowl built for quiet ceremony.

Hand-thrown and hand-painted porcelain by Nishihara Akira, master ceramicist in Arita, Japan, encountered during John's residency there.
