You are attending a Japanese tea ceremony. The tea is served in front of you and you just take the tea bowl.

Now please describe the chawan you are holding.

Is that completely round or irregular-shaped?

What about the colour? Is that glossy white? Or is that more of a brown-ish type?

How about the texture? Is that smooth or do you feel a rough surface?

I would imagine each of you has described it differently because there are so many varieties in Japanese ceramics. In fact, it’s hard to find the same one unless they are a machine-made product.

So, today, I will be taking you to the world of Japanese pottery. To do that, I would like to welcome Robert Yellin. Over the past few decades, he has been one of the pioneers, introducing many different artists and styles of Japanese ceramics to the world, through his writing, online resources, and yakimono gallery in Kyoto.

More information about Robert Yellin and Yakimono can be found in the following sites:
