Chahiwap

When I hear “coffee cup,” I find myself thinking about how it differs from a tea bowl.
The shapes and sizes vary in different ways, but
On the other hand, there were also important similarities — being made of ceramic, and serving as a tool for drinking liquid.
What came to mind was a hybrid between a tea bowl and a coffee cup,
This is the "Chahi Wappu."

there are two defining features: a two-handed design and its distortion.
The design that makes you want to cradle it with both hands reflects the etiquette used when receiving tea, and
Breaking this will be punished as a serious offense.
Since the sphere attached as a handle is not a shape suited to holding in one hand,
Holding it with both hands gives it stability and makes it comfortable to hold.
That gesture overlaps, as it were, with the scene of sipping matcha.
A characteristic of coffee cups is that, seen from above, they are mostly perfectly round.
Meanwhile, many tea bowls used in the tea ceremony have a certain irregularity of form.
This subtle distortion lets one feel the comfort of something not perfect, not complete, and
You can savor precious moments of feeling glad to be exactly who you are.

Holding the coffee cup as if enfolding it, tracing its form with your fingertips,
Please do enjoy this “Chahiwap.”

Delivery of the paulownia box takes 1 to 1.5 months. It is also possible to ship the tea bowl alone first.
