Special Pottery Workshop "Creating an Ōido tea bowl" on May 10


A special hands-on event held on the same day as Asahiyaki’s monthly tea ceremony (Tsukigama).


On this day, you can enjoy a truly unique experience — creating your
own replica of a famous tea bowl. Not only will you make a bowl, but
you’ll also learn about the history and aesthetics of chatō (tea
ceramics) through a short lecture.

This time, participants will create an “Ōido Tea Bowl”, a
masterpiece of Goryeo Tea Bowl. This famous tea bowl is said to
symbolize “Wabi.” Designated as a National Treasure, the
“Kizaemon” is highly regarded among extant Ōido tea bowls for its
majestic and powerful form.

As a special gift, all participants will receive a ticket to the same
day’s Tsukigama tea gathering. Please enjoy the tea ceremony at your own pace until around 3:00 p.m.
