11/07 • all the way back in October I booked a ‘graduation gift’ to myself, not knowing how much stress the last few months of university would bring. The results came the day before I was supposed to leave, and it was so stressful as it wasn’t clear that I had graduated for half a day! But I did, and I’m now officially a teacher 👩🏼‍🏫

Today we went to the Bamboo Forest in Kyoto, ground our own matcha powder in Uji as part of a tea ceremony in the oldest tea shop and visited the statue of the Tale of Genji. Of course, we had to end the day with even more matcha 🍵

My Japan Trip : Uji, the City of Matcha

Discovered a hidden gem in between Kyoto and Nara. A city known for everything Matcha and also known as the City of Genji. A must visit for those interested in a relaxing and laid back atmosphere.

The statue of the woman in the first photo is Murasaki Shikibu, the writer of the first novel in the history of Japanese literature, "The Tale of Genji", during the Heian Period where art and poetry flourished.

Raku Jikinyū, “White Rock series”

Raku tea bowls are shaped by hand rather than being thrown on the potter's wheel and are drawn from the kiln at the height of the firing so that they cool rapidly in the atmosphere outside. 

Their purpose is for drinking whipped tea (matcha) in the tea ceremony (chanoyu). 

Typically either monochrome red or monochrome black, Raku tea bowls were considered radically avant-garde when they first appeared in the late sixteenth century. They were synonymous with the ideals of the wabi style of tea ceremony pioneered by the renowned tea master Sen Rikyū (1522-91). 

The Raku family has lived and worked on the same plot of land in Kyoto since 1586. Jikinyū succeeded to the family headship as Raku Kichizaemon XV in 1981 and assumed the name Jikinyū when he retired in favour of his elder son, who became Raku Kichizaemon XVI in July 2019. He has devoted his career to exploring the possibilities of the traditional tea bowl format in a constant search for new modes of expression. 

His tea bowls are characterised by bold sculptural trimming and the creative use of the yakinuki firing method.

A Souvenir from my Precious Kyoto Trip Last November

On my last day, I stumbled across a woodblock print shop. I looked around and wondered—what if I find something tea ceremony related?! One staple caught my attention. I skipped through so many beautiful prints and my intuition told me to keep looking. At the very bottom of the staple I found it. A woodblock print with three women practicing tea ceremony. Like it was waiting to be purchased by me.

Yesterday, I finally found the perfect frame for it 😌

The first Raku tea bowl was created by Chōjirō, a tile craftsman, with the guidance of Sen no Rikyū. The prominent tea master was seeking a tea bowl for a style of Japanese tea ceremony emphasizing simplicity known as wabi-cha. The Raku bowl reflected the ideals of the wabi aesthetic, as it was formed by hand with an appreciation for the natural imperfections.
