A piece begins with wood carefully shaped on a lathe, giving attention to its grain, balance and the way it sits in the hand. The surface finish completes a form whose character is already present beneath it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorking within this tradition, asada explores how a vessel can make us more attentive to an ordinary moment. SUWARI brings this thought into movement. Its rounded base allows the cup to rock gently before coming to rest, giving a small, visible rhythm to the simple act of setting down a drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Japan Red version has a Murakumo lacquer finish made using soot from Japanese candles. The soot is captured before the lacquer hardens, forming cloud-like patterns across the surface. With use, the red takes on greater depth, so the cup’s character continues to develop after it becomes yours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet it down and follow its movement for a moment. The rocking comes to an end, but the grain, lacquer and pattern offer other details to return to. SUWARI makes a small pause tangible: a chance to appreciate the drink in front of you and the particular moment in which you are enjoying it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Asada","offers":[{"title":"Diameter 82mm × Height 75mm \/ 80g \/ 200ml","offer_id":48289645625515,"sku":null,"price":205.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8843\/7419\/files\/10e2647ef7ca9284c0f76365f5cbbfe6_f67a148c-1957-4ea5-9581-9bc308d4c9cb.jpg?v=1794389274","url":"https:\/\/rakudajapan.com\/products\/suwari-murakumo-nuri-japan-red","provider":"RAKUDA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
