The ido type tea bowls, introduced to Japan from the Korean Peninsula, were utensils prized by those who practiced the simple wabi-cha<\/em> style ceremonies associated with tea master Senno no Rikyu (1522-91).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The special exhibition, organized by Japan’s national daily newspaper The Yomiuri Shimbun and others, is held to mark the 70th anniversary of the first publication of the Osaka edition of the paper. The exhibition is also supported by the Tsumugu Project, a joint effort by the Cultural Affairs Agency, the Imperial Household Agency and The Yomiuri Shimbun to promote and help preserve Japan’s artistic treasures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
