Victoria, could you name some of the other masters you refer to?Victoria wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2018 2:19 amOm, Akira Satake chawan, yunomi and guinomi are worth their price and more. He is a master at his craft, as are many others mentioned in TeaForum. To hold a masterpiece in your hand is an elevating experience. Not feeling the vibe though with song tea collection.
Hi, I was referencing a couple of threads here at TF that showcase masterful chawan, yunomi, and guinomi. All these artists are in Japan. Akira is in Ashville, North Carolina, although he was born in Osaka:Teachronicles wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2018 9:46 pmVictoria, could you name some of the other masters you refer to?Victoria wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2018 2:19 amOm, Akira Satake chawan, yunomi and guinomi are worth their price and more.
