Isolated in time and space, senses alive, one appreciates every nuance of sound, touch, smell, and taste in Chanoyu. Chawan intimately link the user with the maker, allowing the artist, though not present in the tea room, to join the dialog created between host and guest that is integral to ichi go, ichie e. Recently I have begun to understand the inter-related nature of object and process, with the hand and eye of the maker as catalyst for physical creation, and the user of the Chawan I make being a necessary element in the final creation.

茶の湯では隔てられた時間と空間の中で感性が目を覚まし、音、触感、香り、味覚などすべてのニュアンスを楽しむ。茶碗は使う人と創る人をしっかりと結びつけ、茶室にはいないアーティストにも主人と客の間の対話に参加させる。これは一期一会に不可欠だ。私は最近、「物」と「過程」との密接な関係がわかるようになってきた。つまり、私の手と目が茶碗という物を生み出し、その茶碗を使う人が創造の過程を完結させるのだと。
