- Kimitoshi Yamashita -

A universe
in the palm.

In one bowl — the universe breathes.

The smell of ancient earth.
A wind that has long since passed.Light, soft as memory.
Life, quiet as a held breath——All of it, somehow,
resting in the hollow of your hands.

Only clay and fire
know

Beyond the release of intention,
a form emerges.
All of it, chance.
This is not a vessel.
This is art, born from the earth itself.

Peace
begins in the palm of your hand

in the palm of your hands.
A cup of tea, in the morning.
When you cup this chawan in both hands,
there is a feeling — of being connected to the earth.
That feeling makes each day a little more profound.

From those who have held this vessel

The moment I touched it, words could not keep up.Though it has no patterns or decoration, the grandeur of nature is condensed within it, just as it is.Irregular, yet perfectly composed.Before I knew it, it had become a play beyond the five senses.

— M.H.

Every piece, one of a kind.

The color, the texture, the way the glaze has flowed — no two will ever be the same. The vessel before you now exists only in this moment. This encounter will never come again.

With care, to you.

A paulownia box is available upon request. But if we may — we hope you will let it live quietly in your everyday life, just as it is.

One last thing.

May this single bowl — this small peace — find its way to you.

May today be a good day.
