Japanese handicrafts made with natural raw materials are an embodiment of appreciation, awe and respect for nature. They reflect the traditional Japanese satoyama lifestyle that people and nature coexist sustainably. (In a satoyama, people typically forms a community (=sato) with farmlands, on the border of a forest (=yama). A forest is a resource for their living, being managed sustainably by sato residents.) In such satoyama living, the art of livingware handcrafting has been passed along from generation to generation, producing practical and useful objects. They provide insights into a lifestyle in harmony with nature.

It was an encounter with a great tea tree up in the mountains of Xishuangbanna in Yunnan, China, that made me appreciate how tea represented the union of plants, fire (yang) and water. The world of tea, which had once seemed rather lofty to me, now felt open and free. The medicinal qualities of some teas are well known. But there are hundreds of types and hundreds of different tastes. I wanted to find a way to share with others my experiences, which is what led me to develop the Chaguruma. I wanted to look deeper into the subject of wild grasses and medicinal herbs so I visited Sawamura-san of yasousora. Sawamura-san’s home is in Fukuoka. She invited me into a kind of open-air room built on the rooftop, a perfect setting where tea and conversation could flow freely. The tea we drank was from the old tree tea in Xishuangbanna. From the rooftop we could gaze into the lovely garden below. When one considers tea as a plant, the shapes and qualities of the pottery and utensils used to serve it also become more distinct. This time, I would like to share with people some of the plants found at the foot of Mount Ibuki, in Shiga prefecture.

In a tranquil place set into the mountains, vibrant plants cluster around a clear stream.
It slips down from its spring, glistening, and enters a large building where it seems to disappear.
The building is an organic curve that arches out of the ground from a mixture of soil and boulders.
In some places, the crystalline walls become silver and pink-violet.
The gentle forest light passes through them like a mist.
The roof is a patchwork of stone and soil and thatch, glinting with flashes of jade.
There are several people inside and in the garden.
They are talking and working and wearing beautiful clothes.
The space is decorated with old wooden carvings and excavated earthenware collected from here and there.
This place suggests a life that ends in a bloom of color.

The source of everything for me
Like the source of light itself
If you light a candle, it may become like a wing,
Perhaps like a prayer, all may become light
I can’t say what is visible and what is not visible
I just know that all sources are light
