About the event
The Mitsui collection offers a chance to compare bowls made in China, Korea and Japan. Shino and Raku works sit within the broader story of utensils valued by tea practitioners.
Rather than rushing from one celebrated object to the next, compare the rims, glazes and shapes. These small differences are a useful starting point for understanding the aesthetics of tea.
