Korakuen, 後楽園 |
I got off the train at Okayama and went to Korakuen.
I bought a tea cup - this shape of tea cup is actually used for rice in Japan even though named tea cup, but the owner told me that it can be used for an informal tea ceremony - at the Bizen-yaki "備前焼き" shop, Hirai close to Korakuen.
This cup has a beautiful gradation and changes appearance from every angle which is quite dynamic.
