I have two yixing pots (one mentioned earlier, the other a simple black pot), and the Kabuse Yushirode coming my way in the next few weeks.

I am still on the lookout for a matchawan that suits my taste without breaking the bank. I have noticed that zencha is up to $3000 now.

I have been thinking that given the right tools and materials I could make a pretty passable "wabi sabi" piece :)

How do you plan to fire your pots?

My wife's family has a cabin out on the olympic peninsual on puget sound that has some passable clay on the property, a wheel, and a coal fired kiln....

Yes I know, it sucks to be me. :D

Abx has some yixing clay from that same supplier lying around, IIRC. We're just waiting for him to have some free time. :D

Wes asked for pictures of my Kabuse Ushirode, so I tried to put together something that would not be an insult to Alex's long line of beautiful photos featuring this pot.

He asked specifically about the lid, I hope this gives a better idea.

Hey Tenuki--

What what are you doing up at 2:21 in the morning browsing Chawans?
