Chaji

Chaji

(The Complete Tea Ceremony)

Chaji is the name of the formal Japanese tea ceremony — a profound gathering that can last for hours, involving every detail: the space, the utensils, the rhythm, the silence, the food, and the bowl.

Everything is presence.
Everything is gesture with intention.

This collection brings together pieces created in that spirit — objects that engage with time, earth, and tradition.
Handmade, with natural textures, ash glazes, and forms that embrace imperfection.

Chaji is ritual, is listening, is reverence.
Here, each piece carries the gentle weight of a moment fully lived.

My work began at a moment when I was seeking silence — and I found it in clay.

I'm Renata Catena, and I'm still at the beginning of my path as a ceramicist. I’ve been learning slowly, with my hands and with time — through attempts, mistakes, and the small joys that come along the way. I come from a fast-paced life — I run a business, I’m involved in social projects — but it was through ceramics that I found a different space. A quieter rhythm, more grounded. A pace that invites presence.
