☯️ Wabi-Sabi Philosophy
This cup is a meditation on Wabi-Sabi - the Japanese aesthetic that finds beauty in imperfection and natural transformation. The gradient glaze isn't planned or controlled - it's the result of fire, clay, and time dancing together in the kiln. Each color shift, each granular texture, each mottled mark tells the story of its creation. It perfectly embodies "Zen and Tea as One" (禅茶一味), inviting you to embrace the present moment and find peace in nature's honest expression.
