柿と楽茶わん-Persimmon & RAKU

ふかふか落ち葉から
あかい、のを選んで
柿と貝柱わさび和え

On pile of fluffy fallen leaves
I found a 'momiji' that would
go well with the Raku Bowl by
a French ceramicist.

Persimmon, scallops, carrot
and 'myouga' dressed with
sesame paste/soy sauce/
wasabi preserved in sake lees/
some finely chopped 'negi'

骨壺、のことだが
見送る、のならきっと
骨灰かなにか壺にいれ

Talking of 'urn',
if I were to send my love to heaven
i would probably put some bone/ash
in a tiny jar like this(7.5cm H).
As holding it in my palms,
i would say, "Oh, I almost forgot
that you are not here anymore."

You can tie a ribbon across the lid.

1キロ粘土の鉢-Hand Built Clay Bowl

不思議なのは教室で
土練りをはじめるや
誰もが土の声を聞く

指先、がこんなにも
やさしく触れる感覚
土と私と


It's a miracle that
people come to my clay class
and 'soon' get intimate with the clay.
The touch of the fingers shapes the clay,
which is gentle, not oppressive.
