The Japanese Tea Ceremony is a ritual that encourages the adherent to "leave the concerns of the daily world behind and enter a
timeless world of ease, harmony, and mutual respect." Which of these ceramic pieces would be used in such a practice?a) Euthymides’ Revelersb) Hon’ami Koetsu’s Amagumoc) Martinez’s Jard) Voulkos’ X-Neck
Hon’ami Koetsu’s Amagumo, was a japanese artist, whose work inspired the creation of Rinpa School of painting. He was one of the best pupils of the tea master Furuta Oribe and a tea ceremony enthusiast, specialized on the Raku ware style.
He was such a great artist that he added his own figure to his tea bowls. One of his pieces is considered a National Treasure.
The piece that i chose was Passacallie en sol mineur. This song gives off a sense of melancholy due to its slow, longing tempo. it also includes a very nice classical guitar that really tickles my sadness's fancy.
