SUMO-SIZE ME; THE VIDEO
I realize this sounds a bit corny but I
just decided to embrace the "corn" and put together a short video
slideshow of this recently fired teabowl. The bowl is quite large though
ironically I have actually handled a chawan by Kumano Kuroemon that was a bit
larger and since my thought is that despite the term teabowl, this pot can serve
just about any use someone can think up. I have always been grounded in
function but at a certain level I believe it is necessary for a user to grasp
adaptibility and accommodate themselves to the use of a pot or any other hand
crafted object, think about all the chairs you have seen in museums that scream
just about anything but comfort! Have fun with the video.
