Chawan (Matcha bowl) with Dragon Design
Green tea was introduced to Japan in the 12th century, brought back from China by Buddhist monks
Matcha bowls were originally imported from China, but over time began to be handcrafted in Japan
By the 16th century, as the principles of the tea ceremony evolved, so too did the aesthetic of the bowls, with simpler designs becoming more appreciated
This Kyo-yaki (Kyoto Ware) bowl features a dragon motif against a black-glazed background
A resist glazing technique was used to mask the dragon’s head while the black glaze was applied
Those born in the year of the dragon are often considered to be energetic, action-oriented, visionaries, action-oriented and has the drive to take on challenges
The dragon is believed to attract affluence and prosperity, fulfill wishes and protect against misfortune and negative energy
