Its clear blue-white color and hints of silver will beautifully enhance your manners at any table.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr data-start=\"79\" data-end=\"82\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"pi1lm1\" data-start=\"84\" data-end=\"112\"\u003e Ⅰ The tool of shori-dashi: A small token of gratitude for sharing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"114\" data-end=\"382\"\u003eThe furidashi is a small container for holding dried sweets such as konpeito and arieito, and for distributing small amounts to guests. Unlike larger confectionery containers that dominate the space with their extravagance, the furidashi is passed quietly from hand to hand, regulating the distance and breathing between guests - in that sense, it can be said to be the \"smallest unit of courtesy\" at a tea ceremony.\u003cbr data-start=\"246\" data-end=\"249\"\u003e This piece has an easy-to-handle body of 5.4cm in diameter and a dignified rise of 8.8cm, which gives it both a sense of stability when handled by a guest (the one handling it) and beauty when handled by the host. The smaller the tool, the more likely a slight imperfection in its shape will manifest as a misstep in the host's movements, and Matsukawa Kazuhiro's sculpture is extremely neat in this respect. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr data-start=\"384\" data-end=\"387\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"bw8jdt\" data-start=\"389\" data-end=\"420\"\u003e II. The Scenery of Blue-and-White Porcelain: \"Clearer than white, softer than blue\" Transparency\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"422\" data-end=\"637\"\u003eThe appeal of Kazuhiro Matsukawa's blue-and-white porcelain lies in the purity of the white porcelain and the subtle blue shades of the glaze that are layered on top of it. From the photograph, it can be seen that the light reflects evenly across the surface, and that the glaze layer gently envelops the vessel as a thin film.\u003cbr data-start=\"510\" data-end=\"513\"\u003e Unlike celadon, which stands out with its strong color, pale blue porcelain is a type of beauty in which the \"blue\" color emerges only when it is exposed to light. In other words, its appearance changes depending on the viewer's position, the time of day, and the light level in the room. This fluctuation is a quality that is extremely compatible with the world of tea, where utensils \"function\" as part of the setting. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr data-start=\"639\" data-end=\"642\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"nk572w\" data-start=\"644\" data-end=\"677\"\u003e III. Ginsai: \"Another Light\" - Like moonlight, it dwells modestly\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"679\" data-end=\"930\"\u003e The silver decoration around the rim does not project a brilliant light like gold, but rather reflects it quietly like moonlight, leaving only a trace. \u003cbr data-start=\"735\" data-end=\"738\"\u003eWhat's even more striking about this piece is that the silver glaze is not applied uniformly as a surface, but appears as a landscape that includes fine grains. If the silver were too uniform, the craft item would lean more towards decorativeness, but this silver glaze does not detract from the clarity of the pale blue porcelain, and instead adds a level of \"cold light\" to balance the warmth of the piece.\u003cbr data-start=\"870\" data-end=\"873\"\u003e The pale blue body and silver edging give the entire piece a tranquil rhythm - the ingenious design is a highlight. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr data-start=\"932\" data-end=\"935\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1lixzy3\" data-start=\"937\" data-end=\"963\"\u003e IV. Key points of the design: the teardrop-shaped body and the tension around the mouth\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"965\" data-end=\"1162\"\u003e The body has a soft tension reminiscent of a teardrop (the bulge just before a drop falls). The lower part has ample volume, while the neck is smoothly tapered and leads upward, creating a \"poetic tension\" in the standing pose. \u003cbr data-start=\"1054\" data-end=\"1057\"\u003eIn addition, the small opening prevents the sweets from accidentally spilling and ensures a smooth release when shaken. The strength of Matsukawa Kazuhiro's work lies in the fact that the practical design is consistent with the beauty of the shape. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr data-start=\"1164\" data-end=\"1167\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"kffzfu\" data-start=\"1169\" data-end=\"1198\"\u003e V. The movement of the lid and stopper - A quiet contrast created by different materials\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"1200\" data-end=\"1426\"\u003e The piece has a wooden lid at the top, adding a touch of wood's warmth to the lineage of the \"cold light\" of the pale blue porcelain and silver glaze.\u003cbr data-start=\"1260\" data-end=\"1263\"\u003e At tea ceremonies, the combination of different materials is an important clue to conveying the season and taste. For example, at a winter gathering, the cool light of silver glaze evokes frost and the moon, while the wooden base echoes the fire in the hearth and the warmth of people. At the beginning of spring, the pale blue glaze evokes mist and morning moisture, while the pale color of the wooden cork brings to mind the signs of budding. \u003cbr data-start=\"1394\" data-end=\"1397\"\u003eThis \"slight difference in materials\" adds depth to the story of the tool. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr data-start=\"1428\" data-end=\"1431\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1kwra4p\" data-start=\"1433\" data-end=\"1457\"\u003e VI.

The silver color does not interfere with the color of the sweets, but rather enhances them elegantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"1529\" data-end=\"1599\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"1529\" data-end=\"1538\"\u003eThe seasonal feel of the seat\u003c\/strong\u003e : Ginsai = moon, frost, thin ice, pale blue porcelain = water, mist, distant view. It looks particularly beautiful from autumn to early spring, but in summer it has a strong effect as a symbol of \"coolness.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"1602\" data-end=\"1663\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-start=\"1602\" data-end=\"1611\"\u003eMatching tools\u003c\/strong\u003e : By using just one piece of metal, such as a silver tea scoop or a tin teapot, the overall look will be more refined without being overly ornate. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr data-start=\"1665\" data-end=\"1668\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"ug6b19\" data-start=\"1670\" data-end=\"1692\"\u003e VII Conclusion: A clear idea residing in a small vessel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"1694\" data-end=\"1910\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eThe furidashi is a small, inconspicuous utensil. However, at a tea ceremony, its smallness is what determines its elegance. The weight when a guest picks it up, the ridges that touch their fingertips, the smoothness of the gesture of handling the lid—these are all things that convey the host's consideration.\u003cbr data-start=\"1799\" data-end=\"1802\"\u003e This work by Kazuhiro Matsukawa, \"Blue and White Porcelain with Silver Glaze,\" is a highly refined piece that combines the clarity of the blue and white porcelain with the quiet light of the silver glaze, and is further balanced by the temperature of the wooden stopper.
