Recommendation by KAZUE Hyōnenshi
Kusai's artcrafts were very delicate, so he was often particular about technique. I wrote "were" as the past form because he changed his style in recent years. He cultivates his easygoing and hermit like style and makes his artcrafts aesthetic called "Wabi". His earlier artcraft copied from the Chinese artcraft was looked like just a replica of Chinese original, but now his one isn't only a replica of Chinese original. I looked his artcraft copied from Chinese one the other day and I felt it had a feel of Japanese and it was great . I think what he does is the best way for the Chanoyu in future.
Although I use Chawan made by him in every summer for ten years, his storong Chawan didn't break and it became more and more calm.
The Art Show is the ninth. You may already have become a Kusai admirer but I suggest as many people as possible to look his artcrafts.
