A serene boxed sencha tea set in sudued celadon glaze by perfectionist Usami Kensuke enclosed in the original signed and compartmentalized wooden box. It consists of five cups with a teapot and lid. Each cup is 8 cm (just over 3 inches) diameter, 5.5 cm (just over 2 inches) tall. The tea pot is 10 cm (4 inches) diameter, 19 cm (7-1/2 inches) tall and all are in perfect condition, directly from the artist this summer.
Usami Kensuke was born in Saitama prefecture in 1995, and graduated the elite Kyoto University Faculty of Comprehensive Human Studies in 2020, before making the life-altering choice to march down the path of a potter. He enrolled in the Tajimi Municipal Ceramics Research Facility where he initially drew our attention with his absolute perfection and sublime forms. He has since been chosen for several important contemporary exhibitions, being prized at the Ceramic Synergy exhibition held the Kyoto-City Kyocera Museum in 2023 as well as the Judges award at the 13th Mino International Ceramics Exhibition in 2024.
