QUIET BOWL

I had this simple, quiet Shino chawan here for a while and have to admit, though it doesn't scream its presence there is a comfortable, contemplative atmosphere related to the bowl. As I think back on the time spent with the teabowl it was always easy to envision it in use, how it presented itself in rest and how it felt in the hand, there is nothing challenging about the form, surface or foot but the backdrop is surely use. I built this short video slideshow to give a better insight in to this Arimoto Kugen chawan from as many angles as possible which hopefully shares my impressions of the chawan despite the chawan not being not filled with tea on your table.
