Hade, Shibui, Iki, Wabisabi - project 03 draft

Iki

Shibui

Wabi-Sabi

I feel that the wabi-sabi one isn't working very well. It's too crass. The design for iki works but the colors are incorrect. Shibui still needs to be simpler - in color and design. Hade will be two vibrant colors in floral patterns and the design will be larger squares.

I didn't take as many pictures of the things that we covered today. It was kind of special because we got to witness the hinamatsuri and make ocha for our classmates. I didn't realize how difficult it is to whisk one bowl of tea really well. I will certainly try my best to explain what I have no pictures to show.

  • there is a place to heat the teapot on the table itself, which forms a semi-circle around the person performing the ceremony
