999 Pure Silver Kettle Hasu (2016 new
design)
Good afternoon.
Today we would love to introduce our
artwork which calls Hasu that is our new design.
When your life is faced with the
raucousness of the city and the bustle of your career, do you still remember
the taste of peace and cleanness? Kyoto Zuihodo hopes to bring about in us a
stable and peaceful mind when making tea by using the silver kettle, which is
adorned with the pattern of lotus petals on its surface. The lotus has an
unsullied temperament. Along with the purity and elegance of silver, the tea
kettle lets us throw off the anxiety and cloudiness of our realities right
away.
Starting from a piece of sterling silver
using tools that have been passed down and retained from the Meiji era, the
body of the kettle is made by hammering and completely eschewing the welding
method. The shape of its lower abdomen is round and full, slightly and gradually
closing up on the way up. There is also a neat twist made by hammers, which
extends extend straight up to the lid. Hammering tools are the patrimony of
Meiji era and are made by repeating a trimming technique to meet the
requirements for craftsman in order to create specific patterns for silver pots
and kettles, so they can hammer the unique vein lines.
Using top-level, pure quality precious
metals as materials and infusing traditional Japanese culture and jewelry and
metal arts, every singular silver pot is homemade in Japan. Kyoto Zuihodo
adopts the Japanese Samurai spirit which believes that no matter how hard the
creative process is, or how long it might take, we can always overcome
ourselves, hammering delicately to finish the most perfect works of art in our
hearts and present them to collectors.
皆様こんにちは。
本日ご紹介いたしますのは純銀製芸術銀瓶「蓮」(2016年版)でございます。
蓮と言う植物は大変縁起が良いもので、お釈迦様が鎮座される台は蓮が使われます。これは池に美しく、厳かに浮かぶ蓮を表現した作品ですが、以前にも同じ「蓮」を制作いたしましたが、2016年版としていくつかデザインを変更いたし、さらに美しく、使いやすい作品となりました。
大家好.今天我為大家介紹的是純銀製藝術銀瓶
蓮紋。
京都瑞鳳堂,以蓮與銀,同樣來自土壤,以剛和柔不同意境,打造銀壺藝術作品。
以時光交換,反覆槌打而出的蓮瓣,恰似平淡無奇,讓人有如夢幻般的想像。融合著宗教與文化的神祕性,卻能使複雜的心靈取得平靜,與茶藝術融為一體。
