#dobin

I keep making more of them, but here's the first 18 emotes I made to get better at drawing art that reads when scaled down small. This doesn't mean I'm about to start streaming anytime soon, but it does mean I might try taking emote commissions in 2026...

I also drew a profile picture of Dobin in this style:

Nabeshima celadon Dobin-teapot （鍋島青磁土瓶）

I acquired this Nabeshima celadon teapot about two weeks ago, during New Year's Day this year.

In Japan, a "Kyusu" teapot is used to brew tea. A Kyusu-teapot is suitable for enjoying small amounts of high-quality tea, for example Gyokuro, at a lukewarm temperature. The famous production areas are Tokoname in Japan and Yixing in China. However, a Kyusu-teapot has a small capacity.

My drinking style is to gulp down large amounts of scalding hot tea. This new teapot, Nabeshima celadon is ideal for that way of drinking. This shape is called a "Dobin" in Japan.

Dobin-teapot: Nabeshima celadon (capacity --900cc), handle (tin wire/braided)

Cup: Old Imari, soba choko, white porcelain, thinly made, mid-Edo period
