{"title":"Ceremonia del Té","description":"\u003cp\u003eLa ceremonia del té japonesa utiliza un conjunto de utensilios cuidadosamente elegidos, cada uno con un propósito y un significado simbólico. El matcha se guarda en una caja de té —ya sea el natsume lacado para el té ligero o el cha-ire de cerámica para el té espeso— y luego se mide con una cuchara de bambú delgada llamada chashaku. El té se prepara en un cuenco especialmente seleccionado, o chawan, y se bate en agua caliente usando el chasen de bambú finamente tallado. El agua se calienta en una tetera de hierro conocida como kama y se transfiere con un elegante cucharón de bambú llamado hishaku. El agua fresca se guarda en un recipiente con tapa —el mizusashi— mientras que el agua de enjuague usada va al kensui. Un paño de seda, o fukusa, se maneja delicadamente para purificar las herramientas de manera ritualizada. \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"tc03-mishima-yaki-tea-ceremony-kensui-waste-water-bowl-建水","title":"TC03 - Mishima-yaki Recipiente de agua de desecho (Kensui) para la ceremonia del té 建水","description":"\u003cp\u003eEsta pieza vintage es un 建水（けんすい \/ kensui, cuenco de agua residual utilizado en la ceremonia del té), elaborado al estilo 三島焼（Mishima-yaki） dentro de la tradición 京焼（Kyō-yaki）.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLa característica distintiva de 三島手（Mishima-de） es evidente en su superficie: el recipiente está decorado con patrones florales y geométricos incrustados, repetidos y estampados, que se asemejan a los motivos vistos en los antiguos calendarios Mishima distribuidos por el Santuario Mishima Taisha en la Prefectura de Shizuoka.
