IN MOTION III

I made this short video of the Tamba wood fired hakeme chawan by Nishibata Daibi a short while ago. I have handled a number of hakeme chawan but for some reason when I think of hakeme these days, this bowls springs to mind and was just a great all around encounter. This chawan has a rather primal and elemental spirit that makes it a fine, functional and aesthetic pot in hand, in use or just hanging about on a desk or shelf. Though I posted this as a static image previously I was hoping this less than professional video would give a bit more insight into the form, dimension and surface. Enjoy. 

The original post for this chawan can be seen here;
