- A contemporary tea drinking bowl.
- Subject Matter
- Tea ceremony bowls are meant to serve two functions as not just a container but as a work of art. Kuwata's tea bowls while somewhat far removed from traditional tea bowl aesthetics still serve both of these functions. With his works, Kuwata is not trying necessarily to break tradition, but to create contemporary ceramic pieces that build off of tradition.
