The broad and shallow form allows for wide strokes when briskly whisking matcha. Above all, the shimmering interior calls to mind Ando-san’s notions of creating every detail of a tea bowl with an aim to feel the universe within it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are honored to bring together a rare collection of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nalatanalata.com\/exhibitions\/gold-chawans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003egold chawans\u003c\/a\u003e by Masanobu Ando. Ando-san created each matcha tea bowl to emphasize the unique experience of personally selecting and using a chawan. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, featuring a form that creates a distinct appreciation of its materiality. They are made of black bases with fired pure gold glazes of varying application styles, textures and vibrancies. One commonality in the collection is Ando-san’s intentional alteration of the glaze to emphasize a rustic everyday quality, instead of the common notion of gold revered for the highest of occasions. The works come in a specialty handmade tomobako box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGold Chawan VII was curated by Angélique
