CUPPED HANDS.






















Shelly, my housemate and fellow exchange adventurer is working on a design for a cup to bring the Japanese Tea ceremony into the British conscious, focusing on a cup which initiates the physicality of the ceremony. Mike took us to this area, which I have helpfully forgotten the name of, where Tokyo-ites go to see the `old Tokyo` and it was here that I found a cool cup which used the turning action of the Tea ceremony to initiate a kind of reflexology in your hands. I like that it is an innovative idea presented in quite a traditional way.
