This is Yamao from Matsumoto City.
In this article, I will introduce “teaware featuring Mt. Fuji“.
Teaware, simply put, refers to tools used for drinking tea, such as tea bowls, yunomi cups, and teapots.
Mt. Fuji, a symbol of Japan
Whether you climb it, admire it, or use it as a design for teaware—Mt. Fuji always fascinates.
Teaware inspired by the graceful form of Mt. Fuji combines visual beauty with the depth of Japanese culture.
Teaware featuring Mt. Fuji is beautiful even as a display piece and has a strong presence even when simply showcased.
In addition, Mt. Fuji’s shape, which resembles a fan spreading wide, and the sound “Fuji” (similar to “fushi” meaning immortality), symbolize prosperity of descendants, longevity, and good health, making it an auspicious motif.
Mt. Fuji was registered as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site in 2013.
It is registered by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee as “Mt. Fuji: Object of Worship, Source of Art.”
This blog post focuses on the “Source of Art” aspect by introducing teaware featuring Mt. Fuji.
Mt. Fuji is not only a treasure of Japan but also of the world.
I would love to acquire my favorite piece of teaware, disregarding budget constraints.
Please note that Yamao from Matsumoto City does not have expertise in art appreciation or authentication.
Based on my experience of climbing Mt. Fuji dozens of times and viewing it from various mountains, I have selected teaware that made me feel, “This is a beautiful Mt. Fuji.”
Now, let’s take a look at the teaware featuring Mt. Fuji.
