創作のインスピレーション
This teapot combines two beloved Chinese motifs: the dragon and bamboo. Dragon is the totem of Chinese culture, symbolizing nobility, power and good fortune; bamboo represents integrity and steady progress. The classic Shi-Piao form is fitted with bamboo-joint spout, handle and knob, while the body is fully carved with a dragon soaring through clouds — combining vigor with elegant restraint.

職人技
Made of authentic Qinzhou Nixing clay. Hand-built into the classic Shi-Piao shape with three steady feet. Spout, handle and bridge knob are hand-sculpted as bamboo joints. The dragon-and-cloud pattern is fully hand-carved in deep relief with fine scales, whiskers and cloud layers. High-temperature firing creates a warm reddish-brown kiln-change finish, with the raised carving in a lighter tone for striking contrast. Smooth pouring and develops rich patina over time.

象徴的な意味
Dragon soaring through clouds means thriving career and rising fortune. Bamboo joints symbolize steady progress and noble character. The three-footed Shi-Piao form represents a solid foundation. Together, it wishes you great success while staying grounded and true to yourself.
