Having travelled from Japan, where it was an inherent part of \u003ci\u003echanoyu, \u003c\/i\u003eor tea ceremony, it has evolved and adapted to become something very different in the West. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Revered for its associations of its past and its connotations of sophistication and simplicity, the teabowl enjoys an elevated status. Here, Bonnie Kemske looks at the form as a whole, considering the history and ideas behind the original tea ceremony: how it moved into contemporary ceramics, and the way it is used today. She explores the wide range of teabowls, from traditional ones to those being made not for the tearoom but for the gallery, as well as introducing the international potters making them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The book also tackles some difficult questions, notably, how has the concept of the teabowl changed as it has been reinvented in contemporary ceramics? How does it sit in relation to its history? This book is wide in scope, thorough in detail and essential reading for anyone involved in making or using these tactile objects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bonnie Kemske\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472585607\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472585608\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Herbert Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/03\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.90h x 8.50w x 0.70d","brand":"Bonnie Kemske","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44149574041855,"sku":"9781472585608","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a69fa236-9820-4527-86bb-6fc27b06af97.jpg?v=1688457404","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-teabowl-bonnie-kemske-9781472585608","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
