What makes a Teabowl a Chawan

When it comes to the formal practice of Chanoyu (Tea Ceremony) there is more to the making of a good Chawan than initially meets the eye. We'll discuss basic temae (procedure) and a number of the formal attributes that make a teabowl suitable for the tearoom and earning the name "Chawan".

Hot drink cup and tea ceremony is a little bit like the difference between 'Builder's tea' and 'High Tea.'

[@poppintomfof]

I just wanted to buy a chawan and...ended up here :D

[@nicolekollman]

what about the relationship of the interior to the exterior surfaces_?

[@morganolfursson2560]

Well Chawan means literally Cha Tea and Wan Bowl. So any tea bowl is by definition a Chawan . Ou 茶碗　in Japanese.

Do you know 임진왜란?

[@gangsungho5161]

김은수 yeah look it up people! It comes from the country right next to Japan.

[@edstud1]

I don't drink tea, can I still make a teabowl?

[@WatchVidsMakeLists]

You're free to do whatever you have the patience for. Seize life, my dude! We only have so many years in us.

[@fumiyohirano8323]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏

[@krestonosets68]

Chawan is made only by Japanese who is a carrier of Japanese culture while teabowl is made by anyone. The rest is insinuations

[@MarcusCato275]

The Japanese Chawan derives from Chinese tea bowls. The term Chawan is literally Chinese for tea bowl. The Japanese Chawan tends to be influenced by Buddhism and the Wabi Sabi aesthetic where beauty and appeal comes the appreciation of flaws and defects. Raku ware in particular is highly prized. Anyone can make a Chawan. You don't have to be Japanese. But to make a truly Japanese Chawan you have to accept the impermanence and imperfections of the world and more importantly the flaws within yourself. By stating that only the Japanese can produce Chawan you have set up Japanese as a gold standard of perfection which goes against the very nature of Buddhism and Wabi Sabi. The father of tea ceremony Sen Rikyo emphasized the simple and the rustic. The very first Chawans he ever used for his tea ceremony were taken from peasant homes; even a simple and humble second hand cereal bowl or ramekin will do if you wish perform a tea ceremony.

[@morganolfursson2560]

This is so inaccurate this is painful .

[@morganolfursson2560]

Yunomi translates as Tea CUP not teabowl. Learn japanese . Or English .

[@jeromosan]

Why being so aggressive? He decomposed the kanjis, which are exactly meaning what he said.

[@johnbaymore6113]

Precisely why I went back to the Japanese referent in the presentation. (Which I do speak, by the way.)

[@fruitlessbeast]

Wow Morgan. Learn manners. Or just kindness.

[@billycorn5]
