Earth and Timber
Visually, this Chawan belongs entirely to the landscape. Crafted with his signature Dorourushi Kuchinuri finish, the textured blend of raw lacquer and diatomaceous earth mirrors volcanic stone, capturing the quiet beauty of an object weathered by time.
Yet, the moment it is touched, the perception completely shifts.
Defying the expectation of heavy rock, the vessel reveals the striking lightness and rich warmth of hand-carved wood. It possesses a stunning duality: the ancient, commanding presence of stone, layered over the gentle, breathing soul of the forest.
This balance of high art and uncompromised utility defines the KOUad curation. A perfect daily companion, highly durable and naturally insulating, this Chawan is designed to absorb the warmth of your hands, evolving beautifully with every passing season.
