Hello Miss Tali, my name is Manuel Jensa. I am preparing a special Onihagi ceramic gift for you from my Japanese gallery, with great affection from Mr. Boaz. To understand your taste, it would help me to know a few things:

• Which colors do you naturally feel drawn to? Soft pastels, deep earthy tones, pure white, or bold contrasts?
• Do you sometimes drink tea or coffee, and if so, do you prefer small delicate cups, larger mugs, or elegant bowls?
• Is there any ceramic shape you love in your imagination: simple and minimal, organic and wabi-sabi, or more refined and symmetrical?
• Do you like surfaces that are smooth and glossy, or more textured and rustic to the touch?
• Would you prefer something for daily use, or a more contemplative, decorative piece to keep close and look at?

With your answers, I can choose a piece that truly reflects your personality and create a quiet, intimate connection between you and the ceramic. Take your time, answer from your feelings, and I will guide the selection step by step.

Here are a few directions we might explore together:

• Tea bowls and cups (chawan, yunomi) – ideal if you enjoy tea rituals, quiet moments, or simply holding something warm and comforting.
• Small plates and dishes – perfect for sweets, fruit, or small snacks, adding a gentle Japanese touch to your table.
• Vases and sculptural pieces – for flowers or simply as a presence in your space, like a small, calm companion.
• Soft, misty glazes – pale pinks, whites, greys and blues that feel poetic and subtle.
• Deep, dramatic glazes – dark browns, blacks, and greens with strong character and contrast.

If you tell me which of these worlds feels closest to you, and which colors and textures speak to your heart, I will select a unique Onihagi piece that feels like it was always meant to be yours.
