I don't have a better picture at the time, the lighting turned out very poor, and I had to fiddle with it a lot. When I get a better one, I'll drop a link.

I received my birthday present today.

Last month I sent Toru-san, of Artistic Nippon, a picture of this chawan from Hibiki-an: http://www.hibiki-an.com/product_info.p ... cts_id/425, and asked him if he could find me one like it. This is what he found. I think he did a good job.

Space, you have truly inspired me. I have seriously considered buying a Raku-raku chawan or 2 for some time, but maybe I will just drive to Dallas with a U-Haul instead. :twisted:

Very nice piece... how did the price compare to hibiki?

Your entire Japanese teaware collection is becoming legendary and coveted by many.

Magokorodo pieces

by cloudyday » Jan 5th, '08, 18:03

Nice collection, Space. Very nice.
I like the Kyusu, Fuka. I've been tempted to get one from AN myself.
Adriel, I like your Yixing pots. And I like freshly ground coffee from beans, too...though I don't roast them myself. That's admirable.

Here's my holiday haul. The Tsu-tsu style chawan is a Seigan piece (tsu-tsu chawans are more shaped like cups than bowls). The white accents are a part of the glaze and not a reflection...looks really nice. Had to make a strong hint for this one as a x-mas present (as in, "I want this one") lol.
The white cup is a Deishi piece. I like it very much. This one was a present to me from me
:D

These'll be my last pieces to obtain for a while, but I've got enough to appreciate for the time being anyways :wink:

Whoa...missed the kyusu, Fuka...really nice. I saw that one on their site.

That price difference is criminal, Space...well, you get free shipping from hibiki.

Nice pieces cloudyday, may they make sunnydays for you.
