Luoyang Sancai 洛陽三彩
Tang Sancai (Tri-colored) pottery has been produced for over 1,300 years. The distinctive red, green, and yellow colors display the unique style of the potters of the Tang Dynasty. It represented a peak in the development of Chinese ceramics and was already well-known in the world in its time. Tang Sancai (Tri-colored) Pottery was developed some 1,300 years ago by drawing on the skills of Chinese painting and sculpture and employing on the bodies the techniques of clay-strip forming and incising. The lines thus produced were rugged and powerful. Then glazes of different colors were painted on and, while chemical reactions took place in the process of firing in the kiln, they dripped naturally so that the colors mingled with each other and formed smooth tones.

Sahari Orin佐波 理 お り ん
The art of “Sahari” which is an alloy of tin, copper has been imported to Japan 1300 years ago. Starting from the Edo period (1603-1868) Buddhist altars (so-called “Butsudan”) became common in almost every household in Japan. Every “butsudan” included a singing bowl – “Orin”. It was believed that by making the orin chime one can communicate with Buddha and “Stop the evil, purify the place and banish the demons”. “Sahari” stands for an alloy of copper and tin, but only alloys with a very high ratio of tin are considered true “Sahari”, created by a technique known since 1843. Only one item can be created of a single mold and 180 different techniques are involved, which makes manufacturing of “Sahari” a time-consuming and tedious process. With the crucial contribution of Kazuya Nanjo, one of Japan’s prominent masters of Orin making, who uses the techniques of his forefathers since 1839 in Kyoto. The tradition transferred through generations brings us the authentic sound that is able to calm down the heart and heal the soul. The sound of orin becomes even better as time passes by.
