LOVEBUCH, tea set
Tea is an integral part of Japanese culture and the tea ceremony, its rituals, its philosophy, have exercised a preponderant aesthetic influence for a millennium.
From calligraphy to ceramics, from floral arrangement to garden art, not forgetting architecture, practically no artistic field has escaped him.
Introduced to Japan around the 10th century by Zen priests who had gone to study in China, tea was initially used by Buddhist monks to stay awake during their long hours of meditation, but the art of preparing and drinking it has evolved. serving it had already given rise in China to a ritual charged with profound spiritual significance.
In Japan, this dimension did not remain linked to the religious sphere and quite quickly spread to the secular world, giving rise at the same time to a cult of beauty.
The Japanese tea ceremony is a subtle way to commune with nature and with friends or family. Deeply rooted in Chinese Zen philosophy, it is a way to get away from the mundane and sometimes stressful affairs of daily life and achieve, if only for a moment, serenity and inner peace.
Katia Jacquet's ceramics are as sculptural as they are functional. They are made using traditional techniques. Their firing at 1250°C gives them a resistance and permanence that has become rare.
This tea set, consisting of a teapot, two bowls and a tray, is made of beige chamotte stoneware and covered with enamels from personal research (mixture of raw materials and natural oxides), turned and assembled by hand in his workshop in Les Lilas.
