In Japan, due to its excellent glaze color, it has been particularly prized, known as "Kinuta Celadon" and "Tenryuji Celadon." The pale bluish-green color is representative, and large quantities were brought to Japan after the Kamakura period, used as tools for shoin architecture and tea ceremony utensils. A ring-shaped flower bowl (rinka chawan) is a tea bowl shaped like a flower petal. It is characterized by its rim, which undulates with multiple indentations and cuts like a flower. In particular, the celadon "Mahobhan" from the Southern Song Dynasty in China is famous, and it was named after the cracks were repaired with "Mahobhan" = "leech"-like "kasugai" (staples).
