Congrats to that pieces Ambrose.Ambrose wrote:My Shiboridashi from Petr, I forget what this glaze is called. I love it, makes a grand cup of clean sencha.
What, Oribe Guinomi-s???Geekgirl wrote:They're everywhere!
This is a great pic and a very nice kyusu! I've been thinking of grabbing one of these myself, I assume yours came from Hojo? Have you actually used it yet and does it work well with sencha? I always thought of Shigaraki as being fairly heavy but maybe that's not true with these kyusu? Thanks.Victoria wrote:Poppet loves Shakira-aki:
I didn't know Seigan worked with the Oribe style. He seems to be very diverse. He's also a very skilled martial artist from what I've been told. Karate and pottery, not a combination I would have thought of but when I think about it, it does make sense. Freedom of mind, freedom of movement, no set limits.Chip wrote:Bashful Forrest likes Merri Poppets, but Merri Poppets likes Forrest's new Seigan Oribe Guinomi. So, she hangs and is nice around to Forrest hoping to be gifted.
Thanks Britt! Yeah from Hojo. No, I don't notice a weight factor at all. I have used it only a couple of times so far, and not with sencha. Funny you are the second person to ask me that this week!britt wrote:This is a great pic and a very nice kyusu! I've been thinking of grabbing one of these myself, I assume yours came from Hojo?

This was the first oribe of his I had ever bid on, though I have seen others. I hope he does some more experimental work with it and comes up with something wild ...britt wrote: I didn't know Seigan worked with the Oribe style. He seems to be very diverse.

Chip, do you use these guinomi for sake or as small teacups?
), so tea it is. One guinomi is reserved for sake, but once you put sake into a Hagi guinomi, that smell is never coming out. 
Im excited !Since the weight is normal I think it would work well with sencha.Victoria wrote:Thanks Britt! Yeah from Hojo. No, I don't notice a weight factor at all.
