One of our favourite Japanese tea settings.
This Sabisensuji was originally designed by Masahiro Mori in the 1960s. Created in the Japanese wa style, it realises a beautiful Japanese wabi-sabi theme. After many requests from Mori fans, Hakusan recently started reproducing the Sabisensuji.
The beautiful fine curves (sensuji-bori) and texture of the rustic lines ensure the style is timeless, yet it evokes nostalgia among Japanese. The contrast of the lustrous white porcelain and rust coloured texture are not only visually attractive but also interesting to the touch.
