Blossom Teabowl
Turned on a Japanese lathe from “Mizume Sakura” (Japanese Cherry Birch), then carved by hand with chisels. I then applied a layer of Japanese washi paper glued to the bowl with rice paste and urushi, which was coated again with a few layers of white urushi. This results in a surface with the delicate qualities of paper, but entirely waterproof and sturdy. The shape and size are made explicitly for the use as a matcha tea bowl for tea ceremonies or private use.
