The appreciation of tea in Japan grew up within the climate of Zen Buddhism thought, and the rituals associated with it share Zen's appreciation for what is natural, spontaneous, and austere. The objective was to clear the mind and focus attention on humble, everyday objects. The tea bowls were designed to complement this concept. The uneven surfaces on the vessel created by the tea-master Hon'ami Koetsu are designed to please the eye and hand, and the subtle glaze is drawn from nature's palette.
