Number: C02489

Area: Kanazawa, Ishikawa
Material: Metal (Stainless Steel)
Size: Approx. Φ262 × H166 mm

This tea kettle (chagama) possesses an intensely contemporary presence, formed from inorganic stainless steel plates into a geometric polyhedron.
While fully functional as a traditional tea utensil, its solid, sharp silhouette defies the conventional concept of a "kama" (kettle) and immediately commands attention.
The subtle traces of polishing on its surface reflect light with a dull, muted glow, casting a steady presence within a tranquil space.

The kantsuki (lug attachments), crafted with meticulous detail, are a concentration of the artist’s precision as a metalworker and their stoic approach to the material.
This piece elevates a bowl of tea into a profound moment of encounter with contemporary art.

Each piece is handcrafted individually.
Please appreciate the variations in color, shape, and size between the photograph and the actual item you receive as a unique characteristic of the work.
