Workshop Ziel op Aarde en Papier 2023
Traditioneel Japans inkt-schilderen Sumi-e op papier en aarde, in combinatie met een en traditionele thee ceremonie
Workshop Ziel op Aarde en Papier bestaande uit een unieke combinatie van Sumi-e [traditioneel Japans inktschilderen] geleid door Mieke Bouwens en een traditionele Japanse theeceremonie verzorgd door Haruka Matsuo. De workshop sluiten we af met een lichte Japanse maaltijd.
Japanse theeceremonie is een traditie waarin het theedrinken verheven is tot een ware kunstvorm.
Tijdens de ceremonie gaat het niet enkel om het drinken van de thee, maar om het hele proces: de schoonheid van het ritueel; het zo mindful en bewust mogelijk bereiden en drinken van de thee vanuit het hart. Het is een oefening in het hier en nu zijn.
Sumi-e staat voor penseelschilderen met zwarte inkt op rijstpapier. De oorsprong van Sumi-e is gelegen in het Zenboeddhisme en de kalligrafie. Het meditatief karakter van deze schilderkunst laat je ervaren dat het niet zozeer om het resultaat gaat, maar om de weg, het proces.

GREEN TEA IN THE REALM OF TRANQUILITY
Kigata Banko Yaki was invented 190 years ago by Japanese craft artist Yusetsu Mori (1808-1882). He applied a puzzled wooden mold technique to teapot-making for green tea ceremonies. After the teapot is shaped, the wooden mold can be cleverly deconstructed and removed from inside. This technique allows the teapots to keep the warm handmade feel while being very thin and light, perfectly suitable for preparing green tea.
Japanese artist Haruka Matsuo graduated from Kyoto City University of Arts and Gerrit Rietveld Academy Amsterdam. Having studied under Seigetsu Iriyama (1922-2014), Haruka is the 9th successor of Kigata Banko Yaki technique. She adds elements from her own artworks into each tea set giving them a light and modern look.
Meanwhile the molds that these tea sets are made with, are over 120 years old.
The beauty of ritual; preparing and drinking the tea as mindfully and consciously as possible from the heart. It is an exercise in being here and now.
KIGATA BANKO - Japanese teapot for green tea, made with puzzled wooden mold.
In Japan, people barely know “Kigata Bankoyaki” is one of the rare technique to produce teapots using wooden molds discovered in my home town Yokkaichi.
We use thin pressed clay to wrap around this puzzled wooden mold. And we make the shape of a teapot. After the manufacturing process, only few people make this teapot in Yokkaichi.
