inhoudidddd

It seems that Zhangzhou ware was highly appreciated in Japan. It appealed not only to the rich merchants of the
affluent cities. Representing the aesthetics of spontaneity, imperfection, Zhangzhou ware fitted perfectly into
the aesthetics of the sophisticated and eccentric aesthetic conceptions of Japanese tea masters, the arbiters of
taste of the Momoyama period.
