The origins of the "Chawan" (茶碗)... is it from China, Japan, or Korea? 🤔

My ceramic practice explores clay as both a material and a metaphor for life. Working with agate ware, I layer and combine different clays, each with its own character, movement, and response to fire. Through this process, I learn to understand and respect their differences.
The flowing patterns created by these clays reflect how diverse elements can come together while maintaining their individuality. For me, ceramics is not only about technique, but about patience, balance, and discovering harmony through difference.

我的陶艺创作不仅把陶土视为一种材料，也把它看作对人生的隐喻。在制作玛瑙纹陶（Agate ware）的过程中，我将不同性质的泥土层层结合。每一种泥土都有自己的特性、延展性以及在火中的反应。
在不断观察与理解这些差异的过程中，我学习尊重材料本身的个性。不同泥土交织形成的自然纹理，就像人生中不同的经历与个体，在保持各自特质的同时，也能形成和谐的整体。对我而言，陶艺不仅是一种技术，更是一种关于耐心、平衡与包容差异的学习过程。

Having my last trail run for 2025.
2025 has been another tough year for me, filled with challenges and lessons.
But every step reminds me to reset my mindset, stand up again, and keep moving forward.
Set the mind right. Move on with purpose.
Have faith, stay focused, and do the things that truly matter.
“You Only Live Once” — not as a call to rush life, but to live it well and honestly.
As Mae West said, “You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.”
And Steve Jobs reminded us, “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.”
Step by step, run by run, lesson by lesson — trusting God through it all.
God bless 🙏
