The Making of a Teapot
This video shows the making of a Japanese teapot by a master craftsman with many lessons for us. Those lessons don't come in words, as the limited spoken elements are in Japanese, but the lessons are crystal clear nevertheless.
I'm offering this for the weekly T Stand for Tuesday blogger gathering (share a drink in your post and join us), but most of my posts during October are stories and movies suitable for the Halloween season. Ghost stories, horror films, weird tales... if you like that kind of thing I hope you'll check out some of my other posts this month.
(I found the teapot video via Open Culture.)

Fascinating and meditative to watch the process. You always find a unique way to interpret T Day.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the wonderful video. Happy T Day, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI'm in awe! So wonderful to watch this talented craftsman at work!
ReplyDeleteI was in awe of the attention to detail this artist gave. I was fascinated by the way he created the lid, and then when the pot broke at the end, and it happened so quickly, I was really taken back. This was an absolutely incredible video and so unique and interesting. Thank you SO much for sharing it with us for T this Tuesday.

ReplyDeleteThat was absolutely mesmerizing, D. I almost cried when he cut that beautiful pot in half to show the inside. But that was beautiful too. I loved this and should watch again when I'm felling stressed. Perfect tea day post and perfectly relaxing.

Sorry to be so late visiting this T Day, we have been on a 2 week vacation visiting our friends in Maine, America and Tuesday was our last day with them. We flew back yesterday and arrived back home today, so I figured better late then never ...lol 😉. Wow, I loved watching the teapot being made, it was amazing and so relaxing, thanks for sharing! Sending you happy belated T Tuesday wishes! J 😊 x
