Day 97: Japanese Teapot

This little pot doesn't belong to me. It lives in the home of a friend ... but I wish it was mine. It has lovely earthy colour tones and a bamboo handle which has a softly aged patina.

The pot is only used to make green tea, which was the perfect accompaniment for the home made salmon and vegetarian sushi. They were made for each other.

I remember when green tea and sushi was not as popular here as it is today. With the merging and assimilation of cultures, we have gained a bounty of new flavours and I am grateful for it.
