The Dawan tea bowl, also called chatsabal or maksabal, was first made in China and then spread to Japan through Goryeo and Joseon. I love the celadon green of Goryeo celadon, so I collected a few Goryeo celadon in light, dark, clear but obscure green shades. When I was looking for celadon green for a tea bowl, while standing and looking down on the tea bowls lying on the floor, I saw a cool watercolor painting with concentric circles spreading around a pond. I transcribed this shade of color on the celadon tea bowl into the pattern with faded paint. I also used it for the wallpaper for a hotel lobby and for bedding.
