Sōhitsu pottery

Sōhitsu pottery, often associated with Japanese tea culture, is known for its artistic and functional ceramic pieces. Originating in the 17th century, it emphasizes simplicity, natural forms, and subtle aesthetics. The style often features earthy colors, hand-drawn designs, and a rustic finish, reflecting the beauty of imperfection. Sōhitsu pottery is particularly valued for its connection to Zen principles, where each piece serves both a practical purpose and an artistic expression. This pottery not only complements tea ceremonies but also embodies a philosophy that celebrates mindfulness and appreciation of craftsmanship.
