Wabi Sabi
speaks to the transience of all things, and that beauty can be found and
made in the most simple and basic of elements. A stone garden path. A
mountain dirt road. A smoothed river rock. A pile of leaves in Autumn.
This teapot. Made of natural clay with an ash glaze, the round body of
the pot is flecked with brown during the the firing process, reminding
us that natural beauty that can arise out of imperfection. A wraparound
interior Obi Ami (ultra-fine mesh screen) filters out even the finest
particle leaves and herbs from your infusion.
Best
experienced by sipping tea from this pot, Wabi Sabi is
everywhere...when you know where, and how to see it. In the modern
classic by Leonard Koren, Wabi Sabi is an elusive concept
represented perfectly by the perfect imperfection of the natural world.
Witness it all here with this pot when you make tea. The sound of
boiling water, the sight of unfurling tea leaves, the ephemeral aroma of
tea wafting as it arcs from the dripless spout, the texture of this
pot’s smooth, flecked surface. Everything, this pot, these leaves, the
aroma, the taste of the brew, our very breath, is fleeting. Impermanent.
And that is beautiful to know.
