Kyo-yaki matcha bowl with a pattern of five seasonal plants and Seigaiha (sea wave) made by Yamaoka Zensho (1942-), traditional master craftsman in Kyoto.
Gossekku refers to the five traditional Japanese seasonal festivals during which people pray for a good harvest, good health, and the prosperity of their descendants, and to ward off evil spirits. The five motifs represent: pine trees for the New Year, peach blossoms for Girls' Festival (March 3), irises for Boys' Festival (May 5), bamboo for Tanabata (July 7), and chrysanthemums for Choyou Festival (September 9). In this way, the Japanese express their wishes while appreciating the bounty of nature throughout the year.
