Hi everyone.

My name is Axel, I'm a 24 year old fanatic tea bowl collector. Ever since I found out how easy it is to get a hold of great pieces they have been my biggest expenditure.

I like almost every style out there, but specifically I like Ohi ware, Hagi ware, Shino and Bizen ware. I enjoy seeing them as pieces of work (not just something to use), i like using them (well most of them) and i'm thoroughly invested in some antique's that i plan on owning for a long time, so they will remain in a good state after I'm gone.

Anyway I love seeing and reading about Japanese culture/tradition and history. I like how they created a tradition (tea ceremony), that fits so well with their religions and/or beliefs.


Anyway if anyone managed to get this far, thanks for reading and see you around.


Axel

Welcome Axel!

Looks like you came to the right forum to 'feed' your TAD!
(TeaWare Addiction Disorder)

I am hoping you will share some of your TeaWares with us

Well, I can help you there, as I rarely see any Japanese ceramics in real life before I falter and purchase them, and I save nearly everything from images to purchase price;) I have a pretty big folder. Thank you for the kind help before.
