Such wonderful skilled hands!!

[@squarehead560]

This was very satisfying to watch, the mastery skill and care. I have just bought a raku bowl and didn’t fully understand the significance when I bought it; the bowl’s appearance, colour and touch just appealed to me. After reading about raku bowls and seeing this video now how it is made leave me much much greater appreciation of the work, effort and skill involved in making these beautiful chawans.

[@Craftsmanship-Process]

It's amazing how much history and craftsmanship go into making a simple tea bowl.

[@BCashRN]

Such beautiful work. I’m in awe. And a beautiful smile from the craftsman. Thank you for sharing your process making these matcha bowls.

Rakuyaki is a soft pottery that is kneaded by hand without using a potter's wheel and fired at low temperatures, and is often used to refer to Rakuya tea pottery. Rakuyaki feels indescribably nice when held with both hands.

[@kkirsch3583]

Brilliant! Thank you for sharing your skill and patience with us; I take great pleasure in watching your gifted hands make such beautiful objects❤

[@childofcascadia]

I like how not using a mechanical pottery wheel but instead turning by hand gives each tea bowl a unique look. Pottery wheels are cool too. But you can make a bunch of bowls quickly and they all look pretty much identical as far as shape. With this, only the craftmans skill is what is shaping the bowl, not the wheel spinning. Its a much more difficult skill to make a bowl so smooth and level with fingers alone.

I've never seen that water quenching method before. I would have expected an explosion but the end results are beautiful.

Marevilloso, leccion nos a dado este gran maestro de como funciona nuestro cerebro para mober todo nuestro cuerpo.... Que pena que el ser humano lo usemos para el mal, guerras y mad guerras despreciando toda nuestra maquinaria perfectamente diseñada para hacer cosas maravillosas. Leccion de lecciones que hemos recibido..... Gracias muchas gracias Maestro

I am transfixed! The slightest change in pressure...with the fingers or the tool...is a separate step in this process. Beautifully wrought...both the clay and the film.

[@fabiodeoliveiraribeiro1602]

There is something dignifying about human manual labor that can never be replaced by mechanized industrial processes. Machines empowered by Artificial Intelligence can certainly produce more cups of tea faster with great perfection and wasting less material. But the result will be qualitatively inferior to the product made by a craftsman like this. And yes, seeing someone work with concentration, patience and expertise is an excellent stress reliever.

[@lucyhanks500]

What did you actually mean to express there? That 274 thousand views is worth more than the days labour of a skilled craftsman? Or that an acrylic jumper made in a factory by manual labour force can be worth £3000? The problem of echo brain damage is not only in each pop up pirate crafts shop and major brand label advertising, but in its ethics toward cultural sustainability and integrity of behaviour and values? That said, who controls these things like spiritual health and human rights campaigns? People that feel, or are undervalued & overexhausted? Can I guess whose fault such condescension would be; or will it be another psychic copper pelting from an algorithm, like people didn’t know what ostracisation was?

[@lucyhanks500]

And that said, yes it is quite admirable to see fine craftsmanship and skills; does turf dominance and stranglehold methods come into discussion anywhere? Or is it a stress reliever? You see I like nice things but I also like nice people. Wise people, with developed weighing & reasoning abilities, and a grounded sense of humour.

I made these in high school art class, but after firing, we dropped them in a container with paper. It adds smoky patterns to the glaze as it burns away.

[@annfarmer9704]

same here, but instead of paper we used wood shavings!

[@1957jmhiser1]

Yes, it works with air, fine yarn and thread, down feathers etc to give nice designs.

[@1957jmhiser1]

@@annfarmer9704 cool.. I think a thin multi strand embroidery floss would give a nice effect. You may want to try newspaper end roll blanks, I bought a 50 pound end roll with hundreds of feet of blank paper for I believe $25. for my paper weaving. You can maybe run it through a Cricuit and cut out doily shapes etc and burn them in, or sprinkle powder color on them and then fire the piece. Check out doily art glass for ideas.

[@WillSurvive2TheEnd]

awesome work there. very organic-looking. earthy, indentions of being handmade. wabi-sabi. not perfectly round, not perfectly squared up bottoms made on a motorized wheel trying to keep all the lines perfect. sometimes perfect things look too cold, "souless", without any personality or character, like things made on a machine. but to be beautiful doesn't always require something to be perfect. it's the way a thing, or person makes you feel happy, satisfied, content. and it the end that's all that matters. an object or person can appear 100% perfect, priceless, but if they don't inspire positive feelings, they're worthless. like an egotistic, narcissist, haughty, rich, super model. pretty on the outside, ugly inside. a broken vessel. not worth keeping around. arigato gosaimasu for this wonderful video of this great artist. stay safe and take care in these troubling times. 🙏

[@John_Redcorn_]

@@tysonkoehn1that cant be right

[@childofcascadia]

@John_Redcorn_ Its not. The other commenter picked the most expensive product available from this shop. Most are around $250. Which is about what youd pay in most places for artisan raku pottery, since this process is actually quite labor intensive compared to thrown pottery and takes a lot of skill to make. It is considered an art form, where the fact that it isnt perfect but still smooth and symmetrical is part of it. (For a price comparison - standard clay thrown pottery coffee cups made by an artisan are around $50) Theres a few really expensive ones on the site, but those are made by a master which to people into this style of pottery is like having a picasso or something. Iit is a lot harder than it looks to make something that looks like these bowls without using a typical pottery wheel.
