TAMAMIZU-YAKI | Nindosai
Nindosai, This person is somewhat famous in the tea world, but unknown to the general public.

We would like to introduce some representative facial expressions.

As I specialize in Bizen ware, I highly value Yohen. Because variety is what makes it interesting.
The colour combination is also good.
Maple leaves change color, and persimmons ripen and change color. Everything is constantly changing.
However, there are also good things that never change.
In other words, this is the law of nature.
